Like Tom said (and so many others do regularily) at 160 the car feels real nice!!
make sure you have good alignment and newish tires!
These cars are made for speed and I love it. (I saw 140 mph yesterday on my first
ever drive on X-mas day in a Porsche in Minnesota)
cheers,
Marty

T2, you may be correct about that, and also the reason I went with the factory aero setup, thought it may have had a bit of R+D behind it. I attribute the aerokit to the fact that you can really feel the down force more the faster you go

cheers and please do it with no one else around, I get shivers watching people doing this
while passing others one lane over with a 100 mph speed differential--not to bright.

Sorry Enrique, it's my day off, so I didn't get out of bed until noon !!! I got a dentist during lunch tommorrow, after that I'm good..
176mph? was that on HWY 101? Becareful man, it's the end of the month, the CHP needs to get their quota...
I'm no stranger to tickets... 
My car still bon stock, I'm just poking around and doing some research on what to get so it leaves me room for future big upgrades as well.....
