Of course then it isn't a Maximillian any more :) I am not sure of it's anticipated ecological niche. Not enough HC at that speed for the ratty roads of 2030's (you need to chose your line carefully on a typical debris strewn road sheet and that usually takes a couple of drifts every 11"). Weapons badly placed for the normal clean racetracks and then you'd be using slicks. Far too fast and with not enough acceleration to get there for an arena.

For that top speed I'd be expecting ACC 15 minimum (which in conjunction with the brake mods would allow you to use the on/off acceleration/deceleration of the typical street racer).

The 2040'd redux would have anti-shocks and radials and HDHTMs. That would enable it to dodge a bit more and also select up or down 20 mph every turn. It's already expensive, so a another thousand or so isn't excessive.
