2020 C43 at top speed

Does anyone have experience running a stock 2020 C43 up to its top speed? The tires are good for it but I'm wondering if the car is stable? Recently, I was running at 135 and it felt a bit light in front, but I didn't make multiple runs so not sure if there were outside factors. Thought I'd ask first.....

I've gotten into the 140mph range and I somewhat agree with you. If you're on flat ground and on a good road then it's solid. The faster you're moving, the more important road surfaces and road condition comes into play. I also swapped out the stock tires for Michelin PS4S so I guess my comment isn't that useful for you.

Speaking in MPH, I have been in the 160s on PS4S no issues. Car felt stable.

I have seen a buddy (the run is on dragy) run a 1-mile of 29sec at 172 and I’m pretty sure he’s gotten into or close to the 180s before.

Car is fine in a straight line with good tires, good driver, good road (closed track of course) 😝
the car will do 186++ depending on tune need upgraded tires, 235/265 michilin ps4s. upgraded brakes to c63s brakes is also recommended. car feels stable at speed. make sure your maintenance is up to date.
