yes I do, it is one of my greatest eye openers, RX-7 becomes an airplane at 230+ mph, matter of fact I don't think without some extra weight at the front, the RX-7 is in any way stable at over 150mph, I did take mine to 156 once and began to feel a bit of non contact, but then again I don't have after market body panels, that may make a difference in arodynamics, not willing to test that theory ever again, my brakes were melting after that little stunt they melted and it cost me 1300 bucks to get the car to be ok again
