Exactly.....noone is saying that he doesn't have the grunt to get it up there but on the way up he may lose it because he doesn't have the proper aero to keep it planted! So let's say he gets it to 200 mph, how's he going to slow it down without frying the stock brakes? Is he going to outfit it with a 'chute? This is what the guys are saying! Noone doubts that he has the motor to do it rather can he do it SAFELY! I agree with the guys that Nitro needs to address these issues first and then INCREMENTALLY try and get his car to hit the 200 mph mark. This is the safest way of doing that so that whatever issues that pop up don't pop up at speed and can be addressed so that when he does hit it nothing will go wrong and he won't end up as a stain on the wall!!! Liken his approach to jumping out of an airplane with a 'chute that he packed and no reserve 'chute! Pretty dicey but can it be done? Sure, but your taking a huge chance! Why not do it safely! It will be much more enjoyable to all who watch!(Especially his wife and kid(s))
