Is that because it is software limited? I have a hard time believing with its power numbers that it can't beat 160. E46 M3s, which have similar power and are heavier, can go around 180 with software limitation removed.

Edit: yes, the 370Z is software limited...

At what distance?
I am sure with a mile long the Z can hit it (160ish).

The 370Z is limited to 155, IIRC, but the CD and the power of the car lead me to belive that it would top out at around 160-165 if it weren't. It has near identical CD to a C5 corvette, and just a touch less power. Those top out at 170mph
