RT could well be right about the spacers!! Either that or you're driving on some very poor roads.
I've only had mine up to 116 but one day I'm going to find a road with no traffic and give it hell.

161 mph past a state trooper in i90, with a traling type r at 147mph, we both went for it and took the following exit which was 3 miles aways and headed to NH, i really dont think the cop saw the color of our cars even though we were both yellow, i saw him turn lights on then just dissappear out of my rearview, i got that feeling in the back you get when you were chased by a dog as a kid. My girl did not talk to me for a whole week. next time i will have a mounted camera. 125 is not fast to those who posted i do that daily, or maybe am insane, that day it was 315am not a car insight.
Seeing the cop thought felt like he was driving in reverse we were going so fast i felt literaly of the ground, i have been on a porsche doing 185mph but that felt gripped to the ground, so maybe its cause i was a passenger that time.

I hit 170+, then I saw that you were talking about IN the S2K.
Well, 121mph (on closed course, of course) in the S2K.
I was thinking of MUCH higher numbers....and that's not even with the burners lit (OR EVEN RIGHT SIDE UP)

Hey I grew up in Saratoga. Lived at the end Oak St./Bohlman across from the cemetery (above downtown).
Ok, I won't admit how fast I've gone, but I was down at an infamous Porsche tuning/dyno shop in San Diego when I heard this story told about a top-speed run.
Apparently they needed to test out their mods, so taking out the customers' cars for speed-testing was SOP. So two of them hop into the upgraded 951 and heads down the street. The driver nails it (all top-speed runs should never be taken gradually), and promptly flies past a cop car sitting suspiciously in a donut-shop driveway; and he KEEPS ON GOING! The surprised and shaken passenger later asks, "Hey didn't you see that cop back there? Why didn't you slow down?". To which the driver cooly answered, "Well, would YOU believe a radar reading of 174mph?"... heh, heh...
