      It very much makes it better as it qualifies that it is wild without restriction. Leaves nothing to be interpreted or assumed about the statement.
      It's no different to "categorically", "unequivocally" or "without a doubt" being added to provide a deeper context/meaning to what is being said.

    Wow! Not slow in a straight line, my last bike was a ZX14 and that's very comparable, but the corner-speed it can carry! The way it gets up and across and then down the mountain! That's awesome! You're coming out of Reid Pk into Deer Pk and on to McPhillamy and you're over 200 km/h all the way through there! You've got to be pulling 2g of lateral all the way through there to be going that fast! That means sticky tyres and lots of downforce. It looks like a sedan car, but it doesn't drive like one. It drives like a full ground-effect car. Sedan cars do not make between 2 and 3g of lateral at 200 km/h. V8 souper-cars do that, with the big wing thing under the engine, but this is even more striking.
