Interesting, my 460, which is also an 08 can go to 160-165 before it cuts off. Although I don't think I'll ever drive that fast again.

I was going to say, you're going to do something stupid twice? :/

Either way, you shouldn't shake at 100mph. Roadforce balance is the way to go. GL with finding your problems!

Mine's cut out at 145ish also. I did it ONCE, on a very dangerous road and I would never do it again, even on my next car, even if it was fast as a rocket and had some form of godly suspension. I've come to learn that cars aren't toys. In one split second your life can be over... LITERALLY.

I hope, that someone who comes across this has at least taken this word of caution from my seriously.

On another note, though, 100MPH is def different from 160MPH.... Which I can see is somewhat normal among all these FL drivers (I always drive on or 5MPH over speed limit now).

BE SAFE!

The AWD is electronically limited to 130 MPH and the RWD 160 MPH so if you managed to get 148 that's fast enough.

Checking the wheels today at a local shop and all the 4 wheels have bends that needs to be fixed, will quote and see if its better to buy new wheels or fix this ones.

Rear wheels​ are the ones with most damage thats why the cabin vibrates more than the steering wheel.

They have this machine that uses hydraulics to straighten the wheel, process is similar to this one:

Charged me a total of USD$150 for fixing 4 wheels, balancing with adhesives and filling the tires with nitrogen.
