You did misunderstand. The posts prior to mine put it into context.
Once moving at 100 MPH it doesn't matter if the car is 10HP or 1,000HP the effects of the aero on lift are the same. Wasn't talking about accelerating more just the lift that the wind had at that particular speed.


I would hope that a Cayman will hit 140 pretty easily or you wasted your money. Now, just how often and where exactly do you get to hit 140?
