another random thought is that the rake could be off if you lowered it. I've seen a lot of C5s lowered more in the back than in the front and that could have a big affect on high speed aero. The front is suposed to be about 1" lower than the back

It could also be that something is a little off but still within specs. Don't buy the "we put it to factory specs" line get the printout from them.

141 in about 20 seconds of insane acceleration on a couple miles of very straight and relatively clear two-lane road. The few cars I passed going the other way must have had that Mexican taco problem.
The one thing I did notice? Lots of wind noise. The windows suck outward about about 80.

CPT ZO6 we have to get you to VIR ( Danville VA) for some track time. May not get 150+ but still lots of fun.
I hit 145 creasting the hill on the back straight of VIR. One has a come to Jesus meeting at that speed when you are about to creast the hill, you dont see any track in front of you only air.
then keep the peddle to the floor to 151-152 to hit the brakes at the #5 marker.
