got to 120 mph twice in this Z.

Scary moment was a water drift / hydroplane induced slide. Wasn't going too fast but hit some grooves with rivers and slid. Was a long tail hang unintentionally. Scary cause fronts also lost traction briefly which initiated the almost wreck.

Wasn't even pushing either which was the scary part.


I have trouble getting it sideways with re11s at street speeds. :tiphat:

I know a lot of the OGs on here are getting upset with the forum being invaded by "Stance Nation" - but I think you will find that while the Changing of the Guard is inevitable, it is also not all bad. I think you are going to see a much bigger portion of the community keeping more of a DIY perspective and we should start seeing some new ideas out there as well.

Street racing is wildly different than going 125 on an open smooth highway. I went 125 in my 4 banger 115 hp accord.

My z was 17000 and had 12k miles.

Why is everyone such babies about this? Its a performance car, like you never went over 100 anywhere with it?

IBTL... Surprised Trips isn't swing the hammer like I remember he would lol

Because admitting to going double the speed limit on a public forum isn't smart. :confused:

Basically babies. Its not stance nation, its new owners. Stodgy old turds always get frustrated when new people come in.

Change is good. Change is inevitable.

I think I hear a whambulance en route. Echoing the statements of others, I have more fun with the Z accelerating from a low speed to the speed limit quickly, then letting off the throttle. My bimmer lived above 120, but the gas mileage at that speed was disgusting. I even got my winter beater up to 115 once, the 110hp 4 banger sounded like it was going to explode. All of this happened on closed courses in Nigeria; no laws were broken.

Why? You know how many lies exist on forums? Is there a real chance that state police are gonna come on a forum, look at the thread, track down the user, then keep a special lookout for a 370z going 125? As if they'd ignore it going 85?

In all seriousness, whats the maximum realistic negative consequences?

I can neither confirm nor deny that I've exceeded the posted 75mph on the highways here in Colorado.

Well, that's not entirely true; I did get pulled over in the mid-90's in my TT 300zx for, and I quote; "I don't know how fast you were going, but I know it was too damn fast" - it took the trooper about 2 miles to catch up from the point I noticed the red and blues waaaaaay back there; but because I pulled over and waited for him, and the Porsche kept going, I was let off with a warning.

Now I'm older, wiser, and have the money to go to the track to be stupid. :D

Awww. Are you triggered? Maybe a safe space is needed where no one talks about stuff that will make you sad?

So this is what the forum is like without the OG's holding it down lol

Exactly why this thread is stupid, who cares how fast you can go on a smooth open highway, a minivan can do 110+. How fast can you do a lap on some track that's something.

I'm guessing Krazzz since he started a thread about it.

106 in a Prius if anyone cares... LOL

I wonder how much fuel that took... I remember an episode of Top Gear where they put the STIG in a Prius to go as fast as possible around the test track... Then Jeremy got into a V8 M3 and his only task was to keep up with the Prius. At the end, the M3 used less fuel.

IDK bout m3... but I drive down the block and I gotta fuel up.

And this is why older members hate the fact that the resale value of these cars has dropped enough to let in the riffraff.

Ziptying a bumper cover on isn't very DIY.

I guess technically it is unless you pay someone else to do it, but I digress.

Its fun how you think that was directed towards you. :owned:
The safe place is all ready for you to go into though. Seems to me, you were triggered at a simple meme that had no direction towards you
Go back to Twitter and Tweet about this because no one cares.
Have a good one newbie :tup::tiphat:


:iagree:

Yo gais I went so Kool today and plastidip my badges and blacked out my headlights.

Gonna add spacers tomorrow if it doesn't rain.

Big shout out to krazzzz cause he suggested cutting Springs to get a lower ride height.

Can't wait to post up all my kills this summer.

Cash me outside bishes.... how bow dah?





And then let's make a new thread labelled

"Why is the 370z so slow?"
Yo I can't even take a 4 cylinder Mustang what the fk! Like what happened? This car is **** I'm gonna get a turbo frs to walk these fools. Or maybe I should get a Mustang or Camero they got more balls. Pos car such waste of money

lol

Oh come on, I was here long before that happened :rofl2: The higher price point didn't entirely stop the riffraff :tiphat:

Like I said.... many not all.... But you can get a base Z with sport 33k. U talking the Nismo. N I can negotiate one down to $39k.

The Z is worth it even 8.5 years old. It's a unique car. Even old....

Oh man ... those are the fun ones cause you're not ready for it :D

The last time it happened to me... it was not so fun.

Completely user error on my part.... Check your tire tread! And don't use cruise control in the rain!

my tires are bad... like slicks have more tread... but Im holding out for those PS4S's to drop lol

Ouch!

I wasn't being serious ;)

On the track, I've hit 135. On the street...........I keep it within 10 mph of the speed limit.

:ugh2:

:iagree:

How is this thread still open?

Usually only hit 120 on the end of the straightaway at the track...Only real place to be driving that fast IMO...
