I'v done about 138 or so racing. Too busy watching the road to watch the Speedo. Going from SF to Houston in 2 weeks. Will have to see what she can do somewhere on the scenic I10 route

God I love our car!

I got it to 151 when I first got the car in the middle of the night.

I was at 115 and I could swear the steering got light (and it's not heavy to start with!).

Anyone know if the factory (or Mugen) front spoilers do much to decrease lift at that speed?

The numbers I've seen indicate there is aerodynamic lift at the rear at high speeds (somewhere near 100 lbs.). I can understand the car getting skittish, but lightened steering seems odd.

ZZI wouldn't say "light"... but it is very very touchy and the front end bounces and notches without warning.

I hope your kidding! I hit 130 on a service road on Long Island so that should give me a few more points

I wanted to go past 150, but there was a curve coming up.
