    Nice, my friend was a math major, but she has been beyond me in school since grade 9. And we're still friends.

    Reached 200kmh on spedometer once on highway without trafic, and no shacking, but the car is dangerously wind sensitive. Made a few months ago a 300km trip on highway and at 140/150kmh i found it stable...

    Just curious if you hit the electronic speed limit or sanity prevailed and you didn’t push it any further lol.

    There you go, now we all know what a Mirage can do speed wise. My Mirage is pretty stable around 140/50 kmh as well, smooth. It's whether there is wind then and what direction. Effects fuel economy too.

    I did 80 mph for 4 hours straight and it felt fine, just loud and wrist fatigue from constant correction due to wind sheer.

    Nice, the Mirage has a sweet spot on paved backroads that have some bends. Maybe 80 mph is higher than the real sweet spot, to avoid wrist fatigue and wind and engine noise.

    I had a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe for a rental recently driving across most of Alberta out west. You realize some advantages of a bigger vehicle, including fatigue, comparing from my less luxurious Mirage.
