Well I think two things here.

1. It's not really a question of "needing" more power, but "wanting" more power.

2. More power doesn't exactly translate to a speed demon. More often then not, more power means a driver will speed more, but there are a lot of drivers that are inclined to speed anyway, even with piece of crap cavaliers(which shakes when you get past 55). So having more power in of itself doesn't quite go along with speeding. I don't speed, I might get up to speed a little quicker then the next person, but I don't speed. I know I'm by far from the norm but I just thought I would add that in there.

partsman I would be happey if big brother stopped at just what the article was talking about. I'd actually be more worried if the BB get the entire OBDIII setup that a lot of state governments are talking about.

It was bound to happen with so many jurisdictions generating huge revenue with red light cameras. The system does appear to have many possiable applications such as locating vehicles involved in crimes more serious than speeding.
Forgive me,I momentarily overlooked that finding the car used in a home burgulary or such would not genrerate income. Oh well the GPS speeding technogly would bring in money while srinking payroll by putting some cop out of a job. RANT OVER!
