they feel great. good tires, good alignment, and a sound suspension and it's rock solid...

hah, niceness.

do people re-gear for higher horsepower? I get annoyed that i have to be at 3k RPM to cruise at 65-70mph... i feel like I have the torque to do fine at 2k rpm going those speeds.... not passing but thats what downshifts are for...

So in my case, my car would basically sound like its going to explode if i passed 120 mph....lol.

Well. Very well.

Aside from a hell of a lot of wind noise, I have yet to find a speed that the MKIII felt unstable at. I took it up to 150mph a while back, but got scared, and let off. The car was rock solid the whole time though.
