What was the fastest you guys driven?

Hi, I've done with my 8 months old 370 to only about 160km/h and that equal to about 99miles/h. The aerodynamics do not allow me to go any further as the front was really starting to float and the steering is so light that i have problems maintaining a straight line without weavering abit. I've read that somebody here also have the same problem with their Z but most do not have that. So is it something wrong with my Z?

At 99 mph the car should still feel very firmly planted, yes. My experience is with the sport model's front spoilers (the long under-chin plastic spoiler that faces straight down, and the two little air dam flaps in front of the front tires), but honestly even if those were removed I wouldn't think you'd feel any lift at 99 mph. Is the undertray off the car maybe? (the one you remove partially or completely for oil changes?).

I have had mine up to 125 mph a few times and it is very smooth.

Haven't had any issues even up to 120 mph.
