Default Hit 117mph today, but......

It's my first time driving over 110 mph with my S, although the car was very stable at this speed, I felt the wind resistance was greater than other cars. It seems the aerodynamic of S still has room for improvement. Any comment?

136mph very stable. But I ran out of toll road before I could go any faster. Been up to 156 on my ZX6R. The S2000 felt way more comfortable at high speed!

Been past 120 in a 95 Eclipse - Now that was scary - car was all over the place.

The S is perfect!

My Accord hit 111 (indicated) last night on my way back to Dallas - pretty stable but awfully noisy (mostly tire noise - I have new ones on the way as mine are pretty near bald). My wife and 4 month old baby slept right through it. I actually think the Cd on my Accord is better than the S2000, though I doubt it's as stable at speed...

I hit 145 on the Tollway in Dallas with the top down. SCARY!!!!!!!!! and crazy loud. I go to work sometimes at around 5:30am and there is absolutely no traffic. There is this one Porsche Turbo that I usually see around that time. I've been going 135 and approaching 140 and he just blew by me. It is a little scary when you approach 145 to 150 though. Things are flying by you so fast that it's hard to take it all in. Then the thought of a tire blowing goes through my mind and I quickly slow down. But I've only hit 130+ about 3 times since I've owned the car. I hit 100 probably once a week.
