I'm with Mleeja...very little relevance. Speed limits never have and never should (imo of course) be a factor in the performance of any vehicle.
Safe passing is a legitimate reason to moderately and briefly exceed the speed limit. Emergencies is another. But even without these situations, governing the vehicle based on a somewhat arbitrary, variable, and very possibly changing speed limit is a very bad idea.
