what is the fastest you have had your Z too?

TBSS2008 · 11-04-2009, 09:59 AM

Got my 7AT up to 148mph in 5th. I was planning on redlining just through 4th which was good to 120mph, then said what the hell shifted into 5th and just kept my foot on the gas. Was a blast, the 370z screams at high speeds I love this car! As far as drivability at 148mph was still good.

im quite disappointed i only got 265kmh (indicated), thought it'd at least get 275.. a cayman S can do that with less hp..

I've pegged and cruised at that in the 370z for a few miles it fluctuated between 155-158. It's cool when the soft touch speed limiter hits hauls up to 155 then all of a sudden won't go any faster VVEL gets dropped down to limit your speed thats why people keep thinking the car runs out of power. Get your speed limiter removed if you don't think it'll go fast enough for you.

Stopped by an officer at 130 ticketed me for 120 cuz his laser was 3/4 mile out and thats the legal accuracy limit in WI and with the brakes on this car by the time i was .5 mile from him i was down below 80. Shocked the hell out of him when he saw how fast this car gets up and down from those speeds. Had a good conversation with him about it. They love bold faced honesty (pulled over right away) and i knew i was screwed anyway but i got myself out of a reckless.

Careful Gents,

Remember in many area's now, 30 mph over, and you get a free ride down town.

Besafe and enjoy the Z, but be smart about where you decided to air it out.

vipor · 11-09-2009, 09:54 AM

Ooo I want a free ride!

I remember getting a ticket for 95 in a 55 many years ago. The stated that I was actually going faster, but didn't wan to take me to jail. It was late and the roads were empty, plus he was an airport cop. Got lucky but it was still expensive.

I was in a light blue Accord LXi hatchback 5sp btw

GingaBreadMan · 11-09-2009, 10:11 AM

Did 140mph without trying and was able to make confident lane changes.

NYBladeZ · 11-09-2009, 10:52 AM

A lightweight car like the Z at those speeds would be a lot more twitchy. The added weight of the G would make it more stable, BUT, things like high speed cornering and other extreme handling situations are better suited for sports cars like the Z.

Grand touring cars are designed specifically for high speed highway style driving.
Sports cars like the Z are designed for complex track strings with hard twists and turns that a car like the G would not be able to achieve as quickly and accurately.

According to my little garmin GPS....128 mph while messing with my friend an his mustang on I95 in rural Maine. Was smooth as hell.

junior_jam · 11-09-2009, 03:03 PM

The other night on my way home from work I beat my personal best while I passed somebody on the right. I was going 80

. I like acceleration more than top speed.

I just humm along on I-45 to and from work lol.

I just turned in a lease for the new MX-5.. it was a fantastic car btw.

Yeah, I too am looking at uying a 370z coupe, but the fact that the MX5 PRHT is such a great car it is making the decision hard. I had an original 240Z and ever since I sold it many years ago i have had the itch to get another one.

huff442 · 11-09-2009, 04:53 PM

Around 115mph in my 370Z, 185mph on my ZX12R.

Same here. I'm not going to kill anyone seeing how quickly I can get to 60mph.

Lecture over

PS--When I was younger (I'm assuming most of you going that fast are also younger, as you start valuing life more as you get old and have people depending on you) I had my 911 up to about 145. That was plenty fast.

Christopher · 11-09-2009, 07:06 PM

did 160mph in my old 350z.
