I recently installed a pair of 305/35/18's on my Z and wanted to see how much traction in comaprison I'd get. With the TCS ON, I took her from a dead stop to about 60-70mph on a back road with good constant traction (tire spin light didnt flash) and good solid acceleration throughout. However, right about 70 ish Mph, it felt like the rev limiter kicked on, and I lunged forward and had no more acceleration. This also happened a few weeks prior, but I was going around 60 when it happened. Do you think its the VTC kicking in? I havent been to the drag strip this season yet to see if the results will mimic again like on the country roads.
