Possible new stat for any category could revolutionize speedrunning

I have no video of this strat but it works in my tests. I dont know if this has been tried but nonetheless it should be known. Radio boosting or swap boost is simple to do but hard to master. We all know of brake boosting with Franklin's power gives massive speed. With Michael and trevor there is a way to do that. When hitting a curb boost or brake boost hold the radio wheel and it simulates a power boost done by franklin. It slows down time and it works like Franklin's power. This helped me when doing a trevor percent test and it does pay off. The way i use it is on the starights.

it seems logical that it would work, but I think it's harder to master. but if we openly test it, maybe the strat will gain more momentum. the thing I'm concerned about, is that the radio swap button only slows down time. it doesn't give you extra traction, and it most certainly won't pull you ouf of the air quicker. I think I will do some testing later today and post my findings here. but I have to say that it's good thinking, Randomnubergen

OK, quick update on the testing of the strat: I have found it to be A: nothing like Franklin's power, and B: the radio wheel slows down time a little bit more than Franklin's power. It was a good idea, but I find it not working. that could just be my testing that's wrong, but what I did was the following: I switched to Franklin, did a brake boost with his power when I was at max speed and looked at a spedometer, then did the smae thing, but with the radio wheel. the result was that the radio wheel boost was the same speed as a non-powered boost, and was a lot slower than the powered boost. I think I will need to do more testing, but for now: render the strat useless
