How fast(top speed) does it go? My friend who works full time at a LHS claims he has a 1/10th scale nitro car that goes 200 mph!!! He is very knowledgeable about RCs and has been into it for much longer than me. He's even ranked #1 in the state in RC drifting.

I think he is possibly BSing. Is 200 mph even possible in a Nitro 1/10th car?
