That itself would cause a huge rise in accidents.

And also, you're expecting every cop to know the specifics of all the cars on the road and what they're capable of and then surely there will be plenty of arguments when a person is getting ticketed and believes their car was perfectly capable of the speed.
But don't get me wrong I also wish there were no speed limits, because I drive like a childish maniac and like to enjoy the car while driving it and wish others enjoyed their cars too, plus I've never had any accidents despite tons of speeding and street racing.
