Anybody going 160 mph would be traveling like a bullet and might crash very quickly into some slob meandering along at 80mph.

156 and was still accelerating fairly quickly since I was going down a slight hill.. But I let off because I was within a half mile of an 18 wheeler and wanted nothing to do with it at speeds in the 150's

I was at 6200rpm when I tapped 157.... I'm sure another 14mph would only take another 1Krpm

Z => 120 mph
G => 120 mph
I've been fortunate enough to have owned the Z (previous car; 6MT Performance) and the G (5AT). I was driving home from Las Vegas yesterday and going 120 mph for about 30 seconds and noticed a couple of things on the G compared to driving the Z at the same speed.
1. Stability. The G seems to shake a little bit (at the steering wheel). I don't know if this is due to the aftermarket wheels that I have on it now. On the Z (stock wheels and tires) at 120 mph, the car was very happy - very smooth and quite effortless.
2. Struggle. The G seems to struggle getting to 120 mph. I guess this is due to the fact that I was driving a 5AT.
Any thoughts on the differences in performance? Or is it just me?

The Cd of the Z (no aero) is .30 whereas the G (no aero) is .27 - is that correct? If so, what am I missing when it comes to speed and stability between the Z and the G?
