Something buzzing when over 120mph...
... I've experienced a strange buzzing sound that starts up over 120mph. I took it to 137mph and the buzzing seemed to get louder as the speed increased. I thought it was a warning of some sorts so I let off gas.
Anyone with similar issue? Anyone here that does over 120 for long periods of time with no buzzing? Suggestions?
****, I even considered the door handles or the escape hatch near the small rear window as the cause. Maybe it's the plastic trim flapping in the breeze?

i believe it is the windshield wiper...in one of my other cars (not the Z) there is a buzzing sound when i go about 90 or so...then i hit the windshield wiper and when it moved, the buzzing stopped. so next time u go over 120 
just hit the windshield wiper..see if it stops

... zipped up to 120 and flipped on the wipers and the sound stopped for a moment. This sucks, I need to tune the wipers? WTF?

A guy goes to the doctor and says "Doctor, my arm hurts when I move it like this."
The doctor says "So don't move your arm like that."
BTW, I haven't been to Florida in a few years, when did they up the speed limit to 120mph?

hrmph...so it WAS the wipers...my old car didnt use to do that at 90. But i guess as it gets older it will start buzzing at lower speeds. so that means in time, the Z will start buzzing at 60mph!!!

is 120 really fast to y'all? I didn't think it that big of a deal until I heard the seat stain and the 'get my car impounded' comments. Thank you for your concern, I'm very careful but I do keep in mind that doing anything is much more dangerous than sitting on the couch.
