Just looking at that and thinking "ooh, that looks tasty" with 462bhp...then read a bit more and started to get puzzled at no mention of upgraded brakes or suspension and then saw this picture

can anyone spot the worrisome bit?

I thought that I would look up the name "Stampede" on Wikipedia.
"A stampede is an act of mass impulse among herd animals or a crowd of people in which the herd (or crowd) collectively begins running with no clear direction or purpose. Stampedes are believed to originate from biological responses in the brains and endocrine systems of herd animals. The response is believed to have evolved to help animals escape predators.
A large stampede will frequently destroy anything in its way. In farmed animals, herd managers, sometimes called cowboys, attempt to turn the moving herd into itself, so that it runs in circles rather than self-destructing by running over a cliff or into a river, or from damaging human life or property by overrunning human settlements."
I personally would not have used a name whose dictionary definition includes "self-destructing by running over a cliff or into a river" maybe something to do with the small brakes and problems with going round corners.
