Fastest Drivers......
In your opinion, which U.S. cities have the fastest drivers or overall feels like a race track?

Detroit. I've heard that everyone (well not literally) does 80 on the expressways there, and that 90 is the norm when passing.

Chicago, Philly, Miami, Atlanta are all good for fast driving.

DALLAS...
I'm a fast driver but I swear they almost ran me off the road! Try driving 90 or 100 mph just to keep up with the flow of traffic!

People in LA drive pretty fast on the freeways (when traffic permits of course!), but are kind of slow on the surface streets. At least that's been my observation.

I know Los Angeles has its own permitted areas for street racing. You know somebody is from Los Angeles and not somebody from anywhere else in the state when they try to pick a street race with you. Los Angeles is a city for those who seek adventure and thats why I love it.

Well from how it looks so far I wonder if any state would be considered slow!
The reason I think for so much speed now is the combination of people's impatience,a.d.d. whatever you wanna call it,long distances of openness(midwest) and auto technology/marketing.

Atlanta definitely. 80-85 is the speed limit on 85 & 285, anything below that and you get run over.

Another vote for the midwest. Remember the guy caught doing 145 mph on Lake Shore Drive? lol Or the guy in Minnesota caught doing 200 mph on his sportbike? More than once Ive been passed by a speeding group of bikers doing 120+ mph--- while doing WHEELIES! lol Seriously, as much as I like living out here, the drivers cannot obey a speed limit if their lives depended on it.
