To be (slightly) more serious, he should watch out for blobs of
molten steel on the road behind him coming from the brakes. ;-)
Even the TR8 added enough power/speed that the formerly adequate brakes
became a little bit marginal, at least according to road tests of the day
(R&T). A big V8 would require uprated brakes for safety, not to mention
heavier springs, shocks, and probably changing swaybars to keep the handling
safe.
