66% doesn't give you any more ability than 51% does. It doesn't change the speed, it just increases the cost. There would be no reason to hit 66% to do a 51% attack.

They who domiante block mining will dominate the chain. 66% is just an outright majority relatively. 51% vs 49% can be regained with enough luck.
