what is the fastest you have had your Z too?

optiontrader · 02-16-2011, 01:29 AM

Oh... does this count driving on Forza 3? Then I believe I've clocked upwards of 145mph on a straight...

Econ · 02-16-2011, 11:44 AM

~204 fps

150+ and she hunkered down like she was meant to be there... Oh wait, that was my TwinTurbo. I will have to get back to you.

tonybui · 02-16-2011, 04:08 PM

130mph and it was fun !!

The car wants to be at about 80mph or you feel like you're standing still. 100 isn't scary. I took it up on the Jersey turnpike going to visit a friend ~6 months after I bought it. With a passenger in the car, we decided to see how fast it'd go. I got it up to 133 before I literally got frightened and let off the gas.

It didn't feel much faster than 80, but we finally came upon another car and blew by it like it was standing still. Seeing another vehicle on the road was enough to get me to back down pretty quickly.

Haven't tried anything like that since.

Couldnt agree more, when I first got the Z it honestly did not feel much faster then the car I sold to get it (08 3.5SE 6spd Altima sedan with every bolt on they made at the time for the Altima) But I have just come to learn that this car is made to go fast, and do it safely where my Altima was made to get the kids from soccer practice, lol.

Fastest I've been was 110 and that was during a test drive lol. I'll have to update again when I get mine

ste01 · 02-17-2011, 05:41 PM

while in Germany last year hit 148mph on a nice section of unrestricted autobahn, the z had plenty more to give (speedo was reading 2mph less than the two GPS's I was using to verify the speed)

Rooskey · 02-18-2011, 12:48 AM

140

cdoxp800 · 02-18-2011, 08:00 PM

147 in my 2006 350z. So far in my 370, maybe 80. I am still doing the whole break in thing right now.

Jessobear · 02-19-2011, 09:16 AM

I hit the rev limiter in 5th. Glanced down real quick and saw something around 140 on the speedo. What rpm does the rev limiter kick in at? I could figure out the exact speed based on gear ratios and tire diameter.

I did 155 once on my old TL1000R. That was pretty damn frightening.
