I saw a red roadster yesterday in NBP. I waved to the dude, but he was too cool for school and just drove past. lol

last time I was over there - about a month ago.. i was cruising at traffic speed - maybe 80 - and then from nowhere - 3 motorcycles zipped by like i was standing still - they were in the mid-hundreds...:eekdance:

Haha yeah dude bikers are crazy on that stretch of 50. The area between DC and Annapolis has to be one of the best places to do some "linear acceleration testing". I myself have heard from others that you can easily reach the Z's 155mph limit on that stretch quite easily and with impunity. :inoutroflpuke:

I know a guy who got pulled over on that stretch doing 120mph in a Mazdaspeed3. I wouldn't be too sure.

:icon18: if you get clocked at that speed, you might as well keep going cause you're screwed if you get pulled over.:icon18:

There is a stretch of 50 there where you crest a hill and you've got about 1.5-2 miles of fun.

Will the Z only do 155mph top speed?

Wow....no sh*t, the Z is truly a BEAST.:ugh2:

m4a1mustang 11-08-2011 06:53 PM

Well, it takes a loooong time to get there (don't ask me how I know), but yeah, it's pretty fast for its power level since it has a fairly low CD (.29 with the sport package).

eastwest2300 11-08-2011 07:03 PM

Wow, man thats pretty sweet. I wanna touch 160mph in my Z..

m4a1mustang 11-08-2011 07:10 PM

Done the math and made the trip twice already. Leave on a Thursday and come back on a Sunday. Airfare and lodging will only run you 750. The rest you spend will depend on your appetites. Total damage I did one time was 1200. If you want an itemized breakdown I can go into great detail. :bowrofl: :tup:

saw a black 370 with a HUGE aluminum wing on the back on 29 around wegman's right outside gainesville. It looked terrible. That was the first Z ive seen on the road since I bought mine on Sunday. He had sunglasses on at 730 at night.

Expect your ego and something else to shrink on the autobahn. Some guy took me down on the autobahn, I was doing 200km/h and he flew by like I was standing still, worst part is I was doing my best to shake him and kept seeing his headlights getting bigger and brighter then all of a sudden his taillights then game over!!! That hurt so bad :shakes head:
