When the 3.5 SE is driving over the speed limit and on a curved road, it feels like the car is going to fly off the road. I'm talking like 40 MPH on a fairly rounded turn, or 70 MPH on a wide directional change on the highway.

Not a huge deal, I think it might have to do w/ the car being so high off the ground... Wouldn't recommend pushing the 3.5 near red line unless you are driving a fairly straight line.

Thoughts?

hmm...I have no problems with the handling of my 3.5 SE sedan. There's a huge loop off of the freeway near my house which I rip through on ocassion late at night when I'm the only one on the road. And by rip, I'm talking 75+mph with no problems whatsoever. There's very minimal body roll and the suspension feels very stiff and confident.

Your SE supposedly has a "sport tuned" suspension. If you want better handling, a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs would make a huge difference not only in the handling department, but also in asthetics. I had those on my old 240sx and Sentra SE-R and they were great with only a 1" drop. I'm planning to get a set for my Altima within the next month or so.
