Front and rear lift

There is pretty substantial and obvious lift on the rear end of the car when going over 100 mph. Just because you couldn't feel it doesn't mean it's not there.
I also agree.
It's a lot of fun to get the S to over 100MPH but when you get there, you feel as if the rear is floating. My G35 sedan at 120MPH still feels in control but it's a heavier car.
Regardless, the S is so much fun to drive.

Agreed. It's pretty obvious. I wonder installing a rear underbody diffuser would help?
Underbody diffusers work -- but only as part of a well designed aero package and only on cars that are slammed a lot lower than is practical on a street car.
Wing, on the other hand, works well even as a stand-alone element.

I've driven well over 110-120 on various tracks (Road Atlanta, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Roebling Road) So I'm really curious why you guys are feeling/saying the car is not stable over 80 mph. In my experience this would be total BS but maybe your car feels different or has some issue at speed that I don't have or even notice.
