Unstable at high speeds?
My highest top speed was 159 mph in stock configuration. It felt like it wanted to go faster but the governer finally kicked in I suppose. This is strange as I thought the Z was supposed to be governed at 120 mph. Ah well 159 is my current best... I want to hit 180 mph and I'll be happy.

I've gone 140mph on the same track with a Z Roadster and a Boxster S, and both of them were with the top down. I thought that the Z felt more stable than the Boxter at that speed, although both were great. The Z also had less wind buffetting.

It'll definitely look better too.

"hang like its on rails" 
Z feels great only thing I dislike is the floating feel it has when you hit bumps it tends to bounce but this problem is fixed with a set of springs =)

What kind of springs do you use to fix this bounce? I find this bounce very annoying.

But think about how they spent almost twice as much for the car. Then you won't feel as bad.
