We have a Club Car--have used GPS and the fastest it will go is 19 mph. Doesn't bother me---nor my husband--we are in no hurry. The only issue I have with the faster carts is the braking system. The carts usually only have rear wheel brakes and they are not designed to stop a cart going faster than the 19 mph. Will certainly make it hard to stop safely and properly in an emergency situation. We have no plans to "soup" ours up. We all have experience with being passed, etc., by the faster carts. I was on my way to Walmart on 466--a very slow cart in front of me--I just hung back--no hurry---They stopped at the stop sign in front on Bealls---I stopped behind them waiting my turn--a "faster" cart swooped around us both--just as the cart in front of me had started through the intersection and before I had even had time to do my "proper stop" at sign before proceeding. The same cart was on my "tail" the entire trip--through the tunnel, etc. This is my issue--not necessarily his speed but his obvious disregard for laws, and my safety and that of others.
