yep, unless there was a work around for that.
If the car goes faster they must put 'more' brakes' on it.
Everything structural that stresses must be beefed up, causing a weight gain, which the brakes have got to be able to stop.
At some point the speed rating for the tires is exceeded, requiring more expensive rubber.
Lift, which was never an issue becomes an issue.
It just kinda runs away with itself.
