I suspect if I had pedal to the medal it would be much faster down the hill. If you have that type of car and I see many older Club Cars out there, sounds like you need to be aware of your speed downhill even if the cart if built to only go 19ish.

Mine tops out at 38mph.....going uphill.
The biggest problem being......the noise emanating from the seat area.
It seems when I pop a wheelie cresting a hill.....my wife starts screaming.
