The statute is entitled "State Uniform Traffic Control: Equipment,. commonly referred to as "Unlawful Vehicle Modifications". It specifically addresses many items, lights, seat belts, not using headphones while driving, low beams, bumpers, brakes, horns, windshields - to name a few. I can't find any reference to vehicle/engine performance listed. When a ticket is issued they have to cite the statute violated, I would be interested in that officer's response.
But for the record - I personally dislike speeding golf carts, I think they are a hazard to others as well as the occupants of the speeding cart. And I particularly dislike Street Legal/LSV's speeding by on the recreational trails. (I guess when it is a more convenient route to their destination.)
