Driving the A fast is easy ... it's the stopping it from those speeds that can be life shortening.
With the brakes setup properly the tires don't have the adhesion capacity to stop & control the car at speeds over 50 mph, any dirt or water on the road... not a pretty sight for the grand-kids. More sticky rubber on the road helps here. ( newer tires, fatter tires )

or... Another view would be please drive them fast, it will leave more $ in the Social Security trust fund for me.
