If you really put your engineering mind to work there are lots of ways to build traction control without those little wheel sensors. And not necessarily big bucks either.

And yes this one with 2000 HP would more likely hit the 300 MPH mark. We have a rotational problem to work out with the front engine, but it's do-able.
