It felt great! I've done a few things to the aerodynamics that I think helps a lot. The front end felt nice and planted,(no lift at all!) and with my HIDs and the freeway being lit I had no problem with visibility

Maybe sometime in the future we will see a thread about someone crashing @ 170 mph and scattered all over the freeway. Or even better maybe he will kill someone innocent .
