Not news to me...Going 80kph in the Samurai feels like doing 140+ in the AE92, since it sounds like I'm skydiving in a sailboat that's being pelted with bowling balls.

On the other hand, if one of the windows isn't closed up very tightly on the AE92, when I start to slip up to higher speeds I notice it quite easily with the whistling and howling noises.
