Meanwhile in europe the TGV bombards at 320 kmh standard speed (or 350mph on fun days) while anemicans goes at 60...

Don't compare dirt tracks to the autobahn!

The Frontrunner in Utah rubs up to 79mph. Not sure where you get caped at 60. It's not the high speed. But for where it travels it's fast

Yeah, but we have Acela “high speed rail”

  • meets the definition by traveling 150mph … for < 50 miles
  • I think trip average Boston—>NYC is now up to 79mph
