Question for you guys, do you notice your hood and wipers moving a bit at high speeds? I was doing 120-130 the other day and the movement kind of surprised me.

Yep, my hood moves or flutters at high speed was concerned about it when I first got the car now I don't even notice it anymore

I've heard 174mph. Probably pretty accurate.

Usually at 120-130+ mph I'm paying attention to other cars/the road in Mexico... But I haven't noticed the hood/wipers moving outside of anything I'd consider not normal.

My hood on one of my previous cars used to flutter at higher speeds. I checked under the hood frame and there was a gap between the support frame rail and the hood. Some expanding foam fixed it nicely...cleaned it up and sprayed it black....never did it again. I haven't noticed this on my F yet.

I saw an indicated 168 on the front straight at big Willow. The car was dead stable even with Willow's infamous strong crosswinds.
