How does your Vette feel at high speed?

ralphbf,i have only had my car to around 95 briefly to dispose of a fart can and i felt no lightness or lift at all at that speed.by the standard of what some of the guy's on this site are doing that was no test.i'm a few bushings away from going any faster,(a-frame and trailing arm).as far as cooling goes i had an issue but it was a blocked radiator and not an air flow issue.all good now after core wash.i think you'll be happy with it as long as it has not changed in quality after all these years.good luck.
