I know what you're saying, even in my FC above ~115 it feels a little floaty, I need to get a front lip to help hold it down... or just stop going 100+........nah

Showoff.

Best I did was 138 on 370 in Rockville, MD. I ran out of road and barely had time to brake, had to take the turn at the end of the straight-away at about 110. I thought I was gonna die, thank god its banked so well.

Some of these numbers sound high. IIRC, a stock TII is aerodynamicly limited to about 146mph, although 5th will take you to 192 if you have enough horsepower.
