I have to agree with the majority of the responses here. You will not be comfortable at 140-160 mph in these cars - no matter which one you pick (both are great cars, btw).

If you really want to surprise some of those German vehicles out there, go with a Daytona Coupe (SPF builds a nice one). At 140-160 mph the car just glides. With the right engine and trans combo, they are good for 200+mph, and you still get 0-60 sprints in the low to mid 3 sec range.

They ARE a little harder to find on the used car market (I've been looking for one myself) but that's the route I would go if I were you.

Have fun!
