    Nor mine. What tire pressures are you using? Tires? You may need an alignment.

    What do you mean by "at speed"?

    My car starts to feel light as I pass 120 mph but I think this is as expected (and I have set up the car with more rake to minimize this behaviour). The 355 isnt very high speed stable, at least not compared to many german sports cars that are set up for autobahn speeds...

    I recall a thread on this topic with in the last yr. I would do a search on it.

    believe people were suggesting putting on a different front lip/spoiler or something...

    Any chance the 'light' feeling is coming from the relatively slow steering gear box ratio? To me that makes the 355 feel a bit more 'sloppy' compared to other sports cars with faster steering ratios.

    The 355 should not feel light at any speed. The faster it goes, the more is should feel glued to the road. The light feeling can come from bad alignment/camber, wrong ride height or bad tires or inflation. Some people also have the wrong tires.

    Dan,

    Mine is rock solid at all speeds even on our roads!

    I read a few threads about this before I got mine and it worried me but thankfully i have had no issues.
