Assuming that rear wing u have was an option from the factory, u already have zero lift aerodynamics, so I can't think of anything
Pump up ur tires a lot (minimize blowout risk) and/ or get bigger wheels (control)

what do you mean? i have the factory spoiler on my trunk.. i was just mentioning the roof one as something that could help down force? you think there is nothing else that can help? - other then tires which will be fully pumped up 18 inch aftermarket

i doubt a roof spoiler would have any affect other than ruining ur nice 0.26 cD, but I could be wrong
someone else step in here?

The car is already stable at 145mph. How fast do you plan on going? o_O?

The G sedan has (with the spoiler and accompanying under-body aero components that come with it) zero lift aerodynamics (meaning that regardless of ur acceleration/ speed, the neither the front nor the rear or ur car will cause lift and destabilize); the .26 cD is the coefficient of drag (being .26 or about equal to that of a GTR)
u dont wanna ruin that nice airflow, do u?

Just hold the camera with both hands and drive with ur knees
(my friend with an IS250 did that once...)
but srsly, other than having a passenger, i cant think of anything
btw, best mod for high speeds (cant believe i didnt think of it b4) is just to save weight
take out ur spare tire and any other unnecessary weight, use high octane fuel, and off u go

You are gonna need more Horsepower if you really want to hit 200MPH.


Are you taking it out on a salt flat or something? Or you gonna try this on a public highway?

To be honest, everything that would make a difference is ugly and you would prob not want to drive on the street with your car looking like that. I'm talking about removing the side mirrors, taping up every seams and body panel so that air flows smoothly over and running flat disk-style wheels.

And like i said, you'll need more HP. A lot of these street-legal 200MPH cars have 450+ RWHP.
