As an interim step, this isn't a bad idea, from a safety point only.

I do think that other areas of safety should be explored as the better alternative though, but these aren't short-term fixes. Such as making the HANS mandated; working on survival cells; putting roofs back on cars... and so on.

I too like the speeds, and would love to see Muslanne restored. However, those that make the real decisions, the ACO seem to feel that safety is the most important issue, as is limiting possible liabilities from flying cars.

What is the right speed?? Well whatever the ACO decides I suppose, and then for the designers to find ways around the ACO fixes.

I'd like to see more power, more speed and more safety.

2000bhp Can-Am cars would be something else.. although I disagree with you, as there will always be people who will try and push them to the limits.
