It was pretty stable, not as stable as a sports car obviously, but the suspension and downforce have been changed to help. The car has only hit that speed twice in its life, once with me behind the wheel, and once with my dad. It really was at top speed, we could not have got 1 more rpm out of it lol. As you say it is not really designed for 170mph, we had it tuned to hit 155 easily. In fact its 0-60 is slightly slower than standard due to the gearing.

170 km/h in my Citro??n AX (it was really scary, I won't do it never again!!!)
220 km/h in my father's Audi A4 2.6

I was more frightened in my AX than in the A4

I've been 140mph in a BMW 740iL, which was insane...

One of my friends dad's has a Porsche 996 Turbo and he was driving and we got up to 150mph, those cars are unbelievable!

80mph. I'm safe. It was an Audi A6 or A8 I forget. Street racing on the otherhand is blasphemous.

I am not a speed lover. I am always affraid to crash into others.....with high speed an airbag won't save you. I have driven 240 kmph in my m3 once. On an almost empty autobahn when I came back from a skitrip from Austria. My girl slept during a great part of the trip. If she had been awake, this would not have happend.. (LOL)
