I've never had the chance to wail on a 135 like that, but I feel like it would be scary at those speeds.

Taking those esses all out is one of those things that doesn't feel worth it to me, at least when you are talking a hobby car. Too much risk, plus if you wreck, you do it where people can see and judge you
