Is G35S running stable in high speed?

When you drive your lovely G35S over 90mph, do you feel it unstable? any sort of vibration? how about in strong side wind?

Re: Is G35S running stable in high speed?

I raced an M3 going 180kms. I was too busy losing to tell about wind noise and vibrations.

140kms is pretty smooth though, but could be better. Then again, I'm comparing the ride to a Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Re: Is G35S running stable in high speed?

Driven my g35 sedan 140mph on a cool calm morning in north texas and the car had no problem getting up to that high of speed. It felt like the car was ready to go faster and was easily climbing but the wind noise sound like a boing 747 taking off. I backed off b/c of the wind noise.=(

someone should put wings on their car and see if the G would fly. but then the zero-lift design might prevent it.

Mine is very solid when cruising at 105. A bit more road noise then 85-90 but still quiet. The car feels very planted to the road, with no loss of steering feel. Also has decent power to run up to higher speeds, but I haven't done that often.

Drive safe, have fun, kick butt when necessary

I took mine up to 220 Km/h on the 401 and felt no vibration at all. a little bit of wind noise but that was it. I got a friend of mine to leave 20 minutes before me to look out for any copps. we got there the same time. :-)

No problem at 100, car feels like it made to run at that speed. I usually stay around 85 and keep an eye out for my radar detector; which has saved me numerous times...

I've done 130+ a few times, very stable, a lot of wind noise, great engine roar.
