Pulsar with a turbine?

I realize this is a troll but here I go anyway:

The Pulsar I had would hit Vne at WOT on a 65hp, Rotax 582. Why would I
want a turbine?

It wasn't a troll. I didn't know that. What was the determining
factor for Vne? Was it control flutter, as it is in most low speed
gliders? I mean, why couldn't you run that baby at 150 knots? Was it
just not designed for that speed or was it flutter?

You could run a new one at that (Super Pulsar 100). Not blazing fast like a
Lancair turbine, but should be able to get about 180-185 kts VNE.

They haven't found anybody with the balls to test it beyond that point.
