With solid suspension, the car is very stable at 150mph. But I'll take your word for it Tourige.

Not so sure about planted at 120. I've only been over 100 like 3 or 4 times and it seemed planted then, but I've touched 120 twice when i topped it out (about how fast it will get up to if you factor in the bigger tires by the time the govenor comes on) it starts to remind me why the govenor is there, as the steering starts to get rather light. Of course, I also am in desperate need of new struts so that could have something to do with it But from my very limited experience, it dosn't scare me (but then nothing really does), but it does start to make me concerned becuase if something happens to be on the road, as the car dosn't feel like it would take lightly to all but light swerving. Just my .02 on the subject.

Yea because 3100 lb cars are light at high speed. Don't you know anything about Canadian physics. The faster you go the lighter your car becomes.
