Default Man, this thing smooth at high speeds...

Hit the magic number and decided to test the car out a little. Had a really long straight bridge all to myself...after hitting about 90 this thing really smooth out....100...110...120 felt like it was gliding. It was solid....didn't feel like it was going that fast.

I think it has something to do with:

Aerodynamic

Weight

When I hit 136, it was still climbing, but I ran out of safe road...I think other has hit 155 before??

That's quite the top end. My present car starts to shake at like 75mph -- I don't imagine I will ever need to go 135+, but I guess its nice to know I might have it when I got it and need it- if that makes sense

ECU limits speed to 156

the car should have the power to break 160 though
