For some, a bit more speed is no different than the added lighting and reflectors. Driving a Chev at 40mph on the highway can be dangerous if someone travelling the same direction ends up smackin your rear. (OK let the puns begin). I'm not saying the military vehicle has to go 60mph, but if perhaps slightly larger tires gives it a few more MPH, and still retains reasonable historical accuracy, then OK.

I drive my Jeep to and from work on any day that it's not raining. The highway I travel is posted at 90kmh, which means most are travelling 105. I only take the Jeep to 50-55mph (a bit under 90) so while I consider it reasonable, I am pretty sure the dozen vehicles behind me would rather I found a different route or a different ride.
