100mph + uphill
Hi guys got a strange one here.
I have a freeway here in So Cal the 241 and the 73. there are some good uphill grades where you can floor it if you like. Well on the 241 specificaly when I get up to 100 or so I can feel the front getting a bit light. I had a c32 amg prior to this car, which was a funner car, but I never felt it get light in the front and I would go much faster 130 +. Is it the areo dynamics of lift on this car. would a front spoiler help. I don't have issues on flat surface at 100mph + just up hill. I realize the cause is the weight of the car shifting to the back but it's a merc and shouldn't have issues going these speeds even up hill. any thoughts is my car normal or have issues.
