Also, I assume that these are rear wheel horsepower that you are stating. I am looking for about 480 - 500 reliable whp for my future FI . I can only hope to get up to 193 mph for my Z at 500whp, then I will be so much happy.
Yes it was all done with RWHP numbers.

You mean someone did actually drive the vehicle and had it radar read the top velocity like what I did for my GT3 Porsche 3 years ago ?

400hp - 199 mph
350hp - 188 mph
300hp - 176 mph
280hp - 170 mph

Based on the math anyways.
What spreadsheet? A Bugatti Veyron needs 250hp to reach 155MPH

i know it may not matter since its just a simple equation for fun purposes but just a thought lol
I kind of agree, but at the same time, power will always trump all... The weight of a full blown turbo kit isn't going to add 500 pounds vs the 200-300 extra horsepower you'll get.

At speeds close to 200MPH your bigger issues SHOULD be aerodynamics, BRAKES, TIRES, and gearing... Does anyone know if the theoretical top speed of the 370Z is even 200MPH? I would assume the gearing wouldn't allow it because of how short the gears are...

Google provided me with this:
Top Speeds in Different Gears (6MT)

Again, that's just based on math... I doubt the car will go that fast though...

God bless the crazies in Germany that want to take their 370Z TO 200MPH... I wouldn't feel safe, nothing in the car is designed to go that fast

I posted a link to it in this thread already, but thats in the ballpark of what I figured . Take a look at it and let me know what you think.

yea i agree the weight added vs HP gained isnt a big variable.

also i found a video on youtube one day of a guy on a track i think in germany in a stock 370 with the limiter off hitting 179. id search for it but youtube is blocked at work
