At what speed, does your R begin to shake and lost stablity.
On the highway , at what speed does your R begin to feel unstable. Sat in an 98 accord the other day, granted is a much heavier car.. but even at like 120. It rides relative smooth.

My GS-R didn't shake at ~150ish, so I think you might want to look into getting those tires balanced.

J00 got rolled by a GS-R with worse gearing and that was heavier than your car (even with your two coolers and passengers).
Just admit it, j00 got rolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllled.

it never shake and lost stability.
It doesn't shake but the back end feels real light at about 135.

The R is the most unstabil car at high speeds I ever owned. Above 220km/h I have to take great care not to loose grip through curves.. And I drive that speed every day..no matter if the sun shines or if it rains and the wind blows..
No Celica or Mazda I owned before behaved like that..
The R was not meant for that.

it can do 120 better than most cars do 65.. 140 in light traffic just need to know when it better to stop

(obviously, and I'm not helping any
)If your car "shake and lost stability" then have it fixed! Seriously!!
Getting the wheels/tires balanced and the suspension looked at, ... would go a long way towards not shaking @ 150 mph.

Where do you have space to get your car up to 150 and hold it there for any amount of time? 
And how often do you do this?

Car is quite stable at 220 KM/Hr. However it depends how you mean stable because if I brake / swerve at that speed you can almost loose it the rear, right Johnnyboy?? (remember the S4 on the highway)
