tires can fail to much air under the front could cause loss of stering not enough rear downforce can cause fishtailing any car going 150 should have proper aerodynamics for high speed driving, at the minimum a functional front air damn and rear spoiler, and proper ride height to minimize the amout of air under the vehical ---

yup my friend murphy said shit can always go wrong … however here’s some food for thought … at 170 my passenger side window pulled out of the track at the top a little. ---

150 + swerving to avoid something = :jawdrop: I knew someone who was doing around 125 and someone started to pull out in front of him, so he freaked out and cranked the wheel. The car rolled twice before it stopped. ---

Anything over 130 and my windows will only go up 90%…I guess fox body Mustangs aren’t very aerodynamic (sarcasm here…) 140 the car begins to feel like it’s floating…155 and I thought enough was enough, I don’t feel like dying. I wonder what hitting a deer would do to a car going 150+??? I’m thinking the deer may die… ---

watch nascar, you will learn everything you ever wanted to know about aerodynamics. A wing on a car will give the rear of the car more downforce, going around a turn at 150 mph there is so much air under the car that there is almost no presure on the rear wheels, in that case the rear end will slide out almost as if you were on ice ---

140 in my car seems like normal. Nothing shaking or the steering wheel got lighter. But I’m afraid at that speed. Not a good speed to make a mistake 🙂 ---

tire temps go up up up letting off the throttle completely can make the rear get squirmy. not a fantastic thing to have happen. ---
