As we all know, a minecart has a speed limit of 8 m/s (28.8 km/h) which is quite slow, especially considering with Speed II, you can sprint jump at like 10 m/s (36 km/h). So, here is a new idea: Faster and Better Minecarts and Furnace Minecarts! (Seriously Mojang, do a transportation update)
Suggestions
1. Faster Minecarts
Let me get into this straight. I just have an idea for a recipie, called the speed-o-meter. It is used to show the speed of Minecart (or Elytra/Horse) when you hold it in main hand, or off hand. It shows speed in blocks per second, and looks like a white clock with the speed written in it.
Boosting a Minecart: I have an idea for new mechanics of Powered Rails.
When a powered rail is turned on, each powered rail accelerates the minecart by 16 m/s2. upto a maximum of 10 m/s. (If you dont like the math, skip the paragraph). When its off, it decelerates it by 16 m/s2. Each normal/ activator/dectator rail reduces the speed of minecart by 0.125 m/s per block
When it goes in a slope downwards, the speed increases at the rate of 2 m/s2, with a maximum of 15 m/s (54 km/h).
When it goes in a slope upwards, it decelerates at the rate of -2 m/s2. When the speed reaches 0, then the minecart falls back, unless you use a powered rail.
A player can only increase the speed by upto 2 m/s, and 1 m/s if you go upward slope, or 3 m/s in a downward slope.
And example of powered rail:
A minecart is going at a speed of 5 m/s. It crosses 1 powered rail, which takes 0.2 sec to cross it. So it accelerates by (0.2*16=)3.2 m/s, making its speed 8.2 m/s (29.52 km/h). When it goes in 8 normal tracks, its speed decreases by (0.125*8=) 1 m/s, so its speed it 7.2 m/s (25.92 km/h)
If you want to go more than 10 m/s, use a high powered rail. 6 High powered rails can be crafted using 6 powered rails, and 3 redstone blocks. They can only be turned on using a redstone block, but you can soar upto 25 m/s (90km/h) in this, and the acceleration is 50 m/s2.
An example: A rail is going at the speed of 10 m/s. It crosses a high powered rail and takes 0.1 s to cross it. So, it gets accelerated by (0.1*50=) 5 m/s, making its speed go at 15 m/s (54 km/h). Then after it crosses 8 rails, its speed becomes 14m/s.
Not enough time, so i will type the rest with more examples later on.

You should probably just give us everything up front... Not everyone will check back on your thread just to see if more examples are there...
I'm pretty indifferent to all of this but if I had to pick then sure support. I really care about seeing the cart's speed. Don't care much for all the number changes.

Recipie: 4 Nether Quartz, 1 redstone dust. (Going to add images soon)
