I personally didn't really notice a difference in ride quality, but i did notice a BIG difference in handling and turn in reponse, for the better. 130 in a G20... well, it's not out of the question, it's just difficult to find a track with that long of a straight. But my car has seen over 120 before. At over 5500ft, 3 people in the car, and all our stuff. Including an additional full sized spare (which i always carry on long trips). So, I know 130 isn't out of the question, because even with those factors my car was still VERY eager to keep going. I wouldn't be suprised if someone hit 150 (at Silverstate or some other legal high speed race of course).
U R right, 130 can be done in modified G. I haven't got too many mods on my G(yet) I'm more interested in improving gas mileage and a comfortable ride. My G is for cruisin' not bruisin'.
