You don't run much sedan mod do you?

There are factory sponsored stock drivers (that have won Nationals) that have tried Mod and given up becuase its too hard. They can win a stock Nats but they are D-main mod guys.

It takes genuine natural talent to be really fast in sedan mod. I dont just mean wheel control...its mostly about throttle control. Why...because with a decent 8 turn you have more than enough horsepower to light up all your tires exiting a corner and detonate you car against the outside wall of your track if you pull the trigger too hard.

Reducing the cell count will not significantly effect top speeds but it will open the door to mod racing and let racers run the top class without such a steep learning curve. Why...increased driveability.
