Mama, I'm going fast!
No control whatsover of this vehicle at triple digit speeds with stock bedspring suspension. Stock GS feels like it is on a suicide mission at triple digit speeds.

I hit 155mph (speed limiter) on the Aristo the first month I bought the car. Completely STOCK on stock 17's with Continental ContiSportContact II Tyres and completely stock suspension. No problems whatsoever! Car was stable as a rock...even though I had bad geometry...in essence eating up the rear tyres within 200miles.

Really? I cruise at those speeds all the time and the car is very stable. Then again, I have almost every suspension brace and upgrade possible lol. Either way, it was still pretty stable even on the stock suspension. The aerodynamics of the car actually has a rough spot at about 120-130mph. After you pass that the car becomes extremely stable.

i would only go more than 100mph when it's a long stretchy road.. wouldn't want to swerve & do a wheel barrel on a turn

How many of you guys are feeling vibrations at 80? I know it's very popular for our cars but I never heard of a fix for it. My gs has vibrations from 80-85 and then it smooths out at 90-100. i don't take it that fast and the vibrations at 80 remind me to keep it at 65-70.

I don't have a problem driving fast, but the built in speed limiting device installed on my car usually has other ideas. (I married her a long time ago, so I don't have anyone but myself to blame 
).
On a recent trip on US 95 in Eastern Oregon, I set the cruise on 115 for about 40 miles, car was solid as a rock. So much so that my speed limiting device felt comfortable enough to take a nap.

When I first got my ride I hit about 125 because I was curious when driving the car in the "Power" mode. It does have a loose feeling that makes me uneasy even when I drive at 100 sometimes. BTW that's not my normal driving speed even though my foot is made of lead. 
The "only" mods I have is lowering springs, Bilstein shocks and I'll throw in some H&R spacers. These I only did to help with the body roll. Will I need extra parts like sway bars and/or strut bars to eliminate the loose feeling if I should ever wanna play at those speeds?
