One of the freakier things is discovering the hull speed of the car you're driving.
That is, the Seat wagon I drove on a Germany trip the hull speed was around 128MPH. Much over that I could tell that the front wheels were no longer having reliable contact with the tarmac

@olavf Ah yes, the floating effect at high speed. My hotrod in the early 70s would do this at around 125 to 130 MPH. Needless to say, I didn't push it. It worked out well, by accident, since this was also its top speed in the 1/4 mile.
As you know, cars have to be designed to go fast. Air becomes remarkably solid at high speeds, the force increasing with the square of the speed. Lol. Yikes.
