Good point about the traction control systems, and the boost controller.
I agree that on a straight section of track, we'd all like the extra 350 horses to power us to the front of the pack, but if you can only catch up in the straights, you'll get left in all the corners.
The Yellow car looked like it was a handfull to drive. I remember seeing a video in front of Clill's house that showed him burning tires through 3rd gear.

The only drawback to the standalone traction contol boxes is that most of them need a wheel speed reference. While it isn't impossible to retrofit a pick up for each wheel, it is not a bolt on item for most cars.

Just a question-
Do you think a 2800 lb car with 750 hp will beat the 3300 lb car with 1000hp to the end of the straight?

Plus, you've been in both the Mule and Thrasher (I think you were even lucky enough to drive them too), which would be the track king?
