The car is geared for a theoretical 225MPH. I talked to Jeff and will let him respond as to why the car seemed to perform bad.
My other concern is with the 200mph barrier broken, the lack of experience by drivers may become an issue. There really is no place to safely practice. Maybe these guys have to spend some time at Speed Week in Bonneville to get some idea of what to expect. Even Jeff, with 30 yrs of racing at various levels was nervous at that speed.
