The most danger in "flying" at speeds above 150, are wing gusts, which depending on direction, can cause aerodynamis instability for which the car was not designed. Example being stright line speed of 170 mph encounters a 20 mph gust straight at you and your "airspeed" is now 190. is your car windtunnel tested at that speed, in reallife road conditions such as potholes, bumps, roadkills. have a safe flight.............

Let me clarify my previous statement - the Racing Beat car produced enough lift to cause loss of TRACTION at the rear and a resultant LOSS of DIRECTIONAL stability. This caused the car to develop a large yaw angle (basically traveling sideways) and subsequently lifting into an Airborne flip. it did not actually lift the rear wheels off the ground while traveling in a straight line.

PS- I would advise against these kinds of speeds w/o the right equipment, HTH.
