You know, it might do you some good to work on your reading comprehension, start paying attention to whatever you're looking at, instead of relying on anecdotal evidence, and the occational miscontrued statistic. Right now, I have a reasonably recent issue of Car and Driver in front of me, and they've got several American cars that can't top 115, including the V6 Mustang, the Buick Terraza (your mom's van with a little extra power), and everyone's favourite monstrosity, the H2 (which can't even top the 100mph mark you originally set).

Hell, I spent quite a bit of time driving several Chevettes that couldn't top 100kph (since you're not going to look it up, that's 60mph in metric).

Just do us all a favour, admit you have an irrational love for American cars, don't try and rationalize it, and don't try and tell us we're wrong. An irrational love is fine (no one would drive British cars otherwise), but know the difference between fact and opinion (and don't bend facts to suit your opinion, just because major news networks do it, doesn't mean you should).
