Are you lowered? I don't see springs or coils on your build list. I don't recall any float-y feeling when I went 140 mph (I've only done that once almost two years ago now). Actually, the lasting impression I got when I did 140 was that the car is surprisingly stable at speed lmao. I'm lowered on Eibach Pros.
Same for me, in my Coupe ... 140ish about 2 years ago (after I washed it ... I decided it would be easier to just "blow the water off car"). Thankful, to this day, that I didn't get popped for speeding or have any other unfortunate side effect! No hood flutter, No light rear end, No floaty fealing. Felt VERY stable and planted ... and I'm not lowered.

Yes. New track in Missouri, Ozark International Raceway. It was really fun.

I've done 140 in my car before. No flutter with the stock hood.
No flutter on the hood but in the coupe I felt like it was starting to have a bit of float at 135, but that was on the OEM tires so maybe that was a bad idea. I was not lowered at the time. Racing a Kia stinger, he stopped when we got to that speeed.

I wouldn't recommend hitting top speed on factory wheels and tires. Especially slowing down gets squirmy on factory rubber. Even just lifting off in 6th at that speed is unsettling. With wheels, summer 255s, lowered, sway bars, 5th redlines at 138 and 6th redlined at 168 on the higher geared 19 no problem. No turbulence or flutter or anything weird. Also deleting the spoiler actually helped.

As quick as this car is, it doesn't hold a candle against any of the newer liter bikes. Maybe a new bike to go with the new truck. ;)

I got into some spirited driving a few months back with a 370z an got into the 130+ range an i thought the car was surprisingly stable as well, but the second I touched the brakes at those kind of speeds idk if it was the rotors? But they felt like shit
