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))

agreed, it's just the way some people make statements sometimes, it sounds like the 200mph club is unreachable and sometimes i generalize too much. yes fine tuning suspension, arodynamics, braking, safety and so forth are just as important, time consuming, exspensive and tedious but i think the point we are trying to make is people can hit the 200mph mark pretty easy, it's living to tell about it that can be difficult
