How comfortable is the S2000 in the upper limits of it's speed? Is it planted to the ground or does it get squirley? Top up vs Top down difference?

it's sorta planted aite........but try ur best not to brake hard above 140mph........lol....or else you will be in some trouble............(Did that once cause there was a car in front of me and the car just swirled like nuts.............I think it's because my brake is too good for such a light car. I got MY04 with stainless steel brakelines all around)

Make sure your tire pressure is up to par before going to warp speed!

I've been up to 142mph with the top down and it felt VERY stable to me. It felt better than my civic which only topped out in the 120's.

I don't remember anything. top down at 125 mph, my hands all sweaty and extremely loud wind noise, etc...
How do you guys remember all that?

It was fun, great fun, scary fun though on an empty 2 lane backroads and I was pretty much driving in the middle...
