So the manuacturers said hell no we won't limit our cars further so they want to do something aftermarket? Funny.

Not only the italians, the US did a 10 year study that showed lowering the speed limit increased the number of fatalities.
Limiting to 120 is pointless if you look into car safety devices you go from safe to lucky ~80
Is there a point? No. More people kill themselves (probably over rediculous speeding fines) than die on the roads. Moving fast in a tin can isn't particularly safe, sometimes people will die. The government will continue to ignore road safetly facts as long as they don't earn them $. The old people will take out their anger at 103 in a 100 zone fines on young people and how imature and dangerous they are to make themselves feel better.
