Up to 140 or so my car is fine, above that it gets shaky, feels like the left front tire. At the fastest I have ever gone (158 mph) it was a little spooky. Of course, running on 'T' rated (118 mph) tires it is going to be!
I have got to get some new rubber, but these Goodyear Eagles are just like new....grrrrrrr! And no, I didn't put them on, the previous owner did for some damned reason!

My car is stable up to 160mph (fastest i've taken it).

I think anything past 120mph, aerodynamics comes into play. In which case, those wings, front kits, hoods, make a difference.

You're out of your mind, man!

Toss those pieces of poop and get some s03s, pronto......hell, charge it if you have to. I don't want to hear about a wrecked FD b/c of poor tires; I've heard that story one too many times already

175 and very comfortable... i have taken pictures by myself at 155 and 165. The 175 run was coming home from St Louis one night, I had my digital camera which takes shitty video's. But you can see the speedo top 175. About that time i saw cherry's on the opposite side of the road, quite a ways back. Slowed down, took the next off ramp and went country drivin

Oh and this was on Kuhmo's.... If im gonna die, i'm gonna die. There's no stoppin it.
