I agree, the routes are designed for coasting up grades, but that's allowing for 200 mph speeds downhill and in the dips, so there are 4% grades on such routes. Chargers and Horizon or Cal Cars aren't optimized for this, and I assume 125 mph on such a route with this equipment would be problematic.
