Hey all. New (used) CTR owner here. Just a quick question

Is it normal our hood shake//vibrate at high speed? Noticed today after 200km/h (120mph) the hood would shake/vibrate quite a bit and at 250kmh (155mph) it was rather violent

I know I can't really ask a garage to verify my vehicle at those speeds, so just looking for some input from fellow owners. Thanks!

Your hood is made out of aluminum to keep the weight down, and believe me it succeeds! It's quite a bit lighter than the other models. Perfectly normal and it's one of my favourite things about the car!

My hood skakes a bit at highway speeds. If I am going any faster than that I'm usually focused on the road. I'd say it's perfectly normal.

I've noticed it also...I don't hear or feel it...I just see it. Freaks me out lol, but seems okay.
