It's a safety thing really, you don't want to hit the limiter unexpectedly when other cars are on top of you. Quite why they call it a safety feature is beyond my comprehension as it only makes things worse.
I've got faster wheels, tires, premium racing fuel. It's all a doddle really and quite comfortable/sedate - in comparison to a full-on sports car that would be ~2/3rds weight of the 370z and 550Bhp.

I'm wondering if the US models have different suspension tuning and possibly gearing to give you folks the impression it's top speed is 165 and it's unstable?

Just a thought. Most of the US cars I've had in 20 years of traveling over there are relatively squishy/comfy in comparison to European setups. I wonder if your Nissimo is more like our standard 370z? Just a idea.

L8a,
