Default Whistling noise 130 mph

Has anybody else heard an aerodynamic whistling sound at about 130mph?

I never went 130 but I wouldnt be surprise if thats not the only sound you hear at 130. I would like to go that fast but my insurance is already insane with no tickets or points on my license.

Slow down to 129 and see if it goes away.

I am scared to go past about 115 in fear that my hood will fly off... I have hood pins, just havn't installed em yet.
I have had the hood pop up & catch on the safety latch & that was enough for me to buy the pins.

its the little voice in your head, telling you to slow down.

You are probably right, it's gotta be me... the car certainly doesn't want to slow down!

The hood dance is really bad above 140mph.

I get a little whistling from my mirror inserts after about 100 mph. I noticed it afterI put them on. Do you have the painted mirror inserts? I like them enough to have the whistling, so that's the way it is. Erik
