    I've done it before with my old Mazda (...closed course, professional driver :anonymous:). Took both hands off the wheel. The car was quite stable.

    I've hood wobbles on 65+ I've adjusted the rubber adjusters on the front of the hood and no change. I have a hood deflector, which might be pulling the hood up.
    I wish i could get my truck up to 120 LEGALLY...

    You can. There are lots of dry lakes in SoCal where this is possible.

    short feedback : it is a little bit better than before
    Nonetheless, we are still a long way from a situation which we could describe as satisfactory :D
    I will continue to pursue this issue.

    The Vipers hood reminds me of my hood:

    short info Nürburgring:
    distance: 15,77mls
    turns: 170
    fastest lap about 7:30min

    Have fun!

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    Yes, thank you! I would assume that was known, since I only knew where he was from based on his location in his profile which states Germany. I should have been more speicifc and said the land of the autobahn, but I was on my phone trying to point out to everyone who was getting on to him for speeding.

    As for this, I agree, I was merely pointing out that fact for the people who were telling him it is not safe or illegal to do. I personally try to keep it under 85 ;)

    Just keep the truck off the Nurburgring and you won't have any problems! LOL!

    (man, would I ever love some laps on the Ring - bucket list - one of these days)
