1st - 40
2nd - 65
3rd - 90
4th - 115
Is it normal for the progression to be this linear? That would lead me to believe it could get 165 without a limiter. Of course all of this was and should be done in a safe and controlled environment. Also, I was impressed to see that it could nail sixty reasonably comfortably while still in second. That definitely helps it 0 - 60 times for the crowd that judges almost solely on that statistic.

Resistance from the air will flatten those numbers as speed increases in 5th and 6th. The Z has nice drag coefficient spec, nonetheless physics will take over eventually.
Anyone on the forum taken one to max velocity on the track? And isn't the limiter set at 156mph?
