Default Anyone ever done 120+ yet?

Went to a landing strip thats not in use anymore with some friends, and had an opportunity to see how the car feels at high speeds... I was amazed at how smooth it was up until like 110 or 120... Thats when it started vibrating... Don't know if it was the trans or rear... But i hope its normal... Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

I've had mine to 130+ Careful with old landing strips, they may be relativly safe but sometimes there will be debris left on them if there not maintained and I'd hate to see you have a blowout at 100mph. Some runways aren't the smoothest depending on the way there constructed and location.

Just two days ago I was around 130/140 and the car seemed to be on a cloud. It was great!

I've taken 4th to about 5600rpms. Didn't see the speedo, but I believe that is 130+. Car felt fine, wife didn't.

I had mine to 130. It was still pulling there and felt smooth except the road was a little bumpy for those speeds. It was a small farmer market road. The traction control light was flashing like crazy at me. I have never owned a car that I didnt find out exacly what the top speed was. This one I will find out some day. I just need to find a smoother road with a low chance of cops.
