At least once a month. The only time it started feeling a little unstable was with the top down doing 140!!!

Agreed. Had a similar experience @ 140 with the top down. I definitely need a hard top. 70% of my driving is interstate.

I hit 100 mph rarely. My daily commute usually requires between 35-55 around town (yes, I do follow speed limit on the street, not only because it saves gas but also ensures I don't get a speeding ticket) and 65-80 on the highway.

I'm surprised that a degenerate like you even has a wife. Do you realize that there are people working in toll booths, that traffic is stop and go there, meaning that the employees can walk in and out of the buildings without warning? Going 110 on a wide open road is one thing, blasting through a toll booth at those speeds is downright degenerate.

Well I have a 15 mile commute to school everyday and the freeways pretty much open at 6 am so I hit 100 pretty much everyday but I know my cars limits, radar detector and constantly checking mirrors helps too

Hey smartass, You know nothing about what your talking The tollbooth is automated and there are no buildings for the attendent to run out of. And I have a very hot wife that is 14 yrs younger that me. So go **** yourself.

So that's how I commute every day. I'll take an hour shooting through turns at 30 - 60 over an hour crawling along staring at truck bumpers any day.

To those of you with open roads.....hats off boys & girls.
I commute 80 miles round trip in CT and average traffic flow is 80 mph. I get passed every day by a few people going 100+, including state troopers without emergency lights. Nice how having a cop car entitles you to break the law as you wish.

The people who are saying it's unstable above 100 mph either don't actually own one or have serious problems with their cars.
