My car feels nice and stable at speeds around 100.

Nowhere. What's your point?

Seriously though, I only go really high speeds(like over 120) on nice open roads, out in the country, with no traffic. It's both good and bad that these cars can get to triple-digit speeds so easily.

what you do is find a highway where the speed limit is like 80. then, if you get caught speeding, the ticket wont be as much.

A few years back there was no daytime speed limit on some roads in Minnesota I believe. I think that only lasted a few months though.

The problem with going that fast is that at 120+ mph cars in front of you come up way too fast. You will not have time to slow down if you are doing 130 and there is a car in front of you in the left lane.

That is one thing that really pisses me off...Left lane drivers. You know those idiots who think because they are doing 66 they should be in the left lane and stay there....

I've had my 96 Z28 up to 170 and the formy up to 155, both were very stable. The only problem i've had was the windows starting to pull outward at 140+

Edit: All of this was done out in BFE in the desert areas where there is no traffic...

My car was stable to 150mph. The front end floated a little but the car didnt vibrate at all.

How much of a difference do you guys think a spoiler in the front would make?

If you think the front nose of your F-body is floaty going 100+... try doing it in a stock Fiero! Dad did that once with me, scariest damn thing ever, car handles the corners damn good, not those high speeds though.
