Not willing to divulge my cruse speed, but let's just assume that double nickels REALLY, REALLY, REALLY suck. Don't care about glitz or glamour, just want to hug the road tighter than I would hug my lady.
Well, first off, "old dog" (your words .... ) you're too damn old to be driving over 100 mph in a car ....

If you don't buy that, just glance over at your lady's face, the next time you are trying to set the local land speed record.....

OK, stubborn, if your dead set on "flying" with your FR-S ..... maybe a lower, tighter suspension would help. Better tires would help keep it from "lift off". And some aero tupperware on the front lip might help keep the nose down.
