Opportunity to run the car down an airport Runway today
Local community airport had a half day opportunity to run your car down their air strip.
So I did. $15 I felt that the car became a little floaty at around 125. Seemed very unsettled. What do you figure......poor suspension or is just plain aerodynamics, resulting in not enough downforce. Just curious. Only 1 run allowed... I wanted to do another, but no go..

isn't just awesome to run on an airport...lol
over here it's twice a week to run the runways only during summers of course. & as many runs as you want within operating time limits. |

Best small car I ever drove for road adhesion (in stock condition) was a Mercedes A-Class (on a European rental). The whole front was a wedge pushing your nose down, so you were absolutely glued to the road when you had the throttle mashed. In fact, that massive downforce limited the diesel to only about 220km/hr. Too bad MB never imported this "lesser" model. |

Maybe it got confused being on the runway and was trying to take off?

I pushed to 125 MPH and felt very stable/rigid.
