It's possible that with the baggage we managed to stuff in the trunk that we got it a bit over that 400 limit, but as we weren't runnin' a gymkhana with it, but coverin' distance to our destination, the extra weight wasn't noticed as any sort of problem.
I would imagine that the limit is there for optimum handling at the outer edges of Stewie's abilities.
The final approach to where we were headin' had this sweet stretch of twisty for about the last 2 miles or so climbin' a bit of a mountain. By no means did we run it 'nads out, but we did push it kind'a hard.
So, if we were overtaxin' Stewies abilities, you wouldn't'a known it by us.
Be well.
