Well hell, the wing actually has a purpose lol. I am actually a little surprised that such a light car feels stable at that speed. Mitsu kept the speed freaks in mind when they designed the aerodynamic aspects of this car.

Just take a pic of ur dash, and use photoshop to hit 165, .

It would be alot less risk then fumbling with a camera while going 165mph.

Hell Yeah. Did you ever watch the video the guy doing 183mph, lifting off the throttle, and the car going into a flat spin? He said it was specifically due to the fact he removed the rear wing. How that guy is still alive is beyond me.

Video here, in case you missed it.

I saw that a while ago.

How was he able to achieve such a high speed? Did he have a different final drive ratio or something?

i have gone over 160 numerous times and my car has never felt anything other than great at that speed. very stable, still very responsive. it actually feels better around 165-170 than at 70. and my car weighs 3202 on long acres scales with no driver. no weight reduction
