The V6 is limited to 113 mph, so it's not like it doesn't have the power to go faster. Why? Probably the tires on the base model. The V6PP cars should have no problem running to 150 mph with the limiter removed (if it isn't already).

But anyways, none of us should drive this fast on public roads. Only on closed circuits or on XBOX :icon18:

The Z is very, very composed at speed, though. :tup:

230kms/h

55mph in reverse.

i think 136 or 137 mph at vir as indicated on my vbox, yes faster than the nismo in car and driver

Got a nice run out of Oak Tree. :driving::tup:

I did 208 mph in a school, blindfolded, listening to Ray Charles sitting in the passenger sit, it was awesome

I actually got my Z doing 160 twice on my way back up from florida...... One of those runs was racing a pontiac GTO more than likely it was the 5.8 since I beat him with ease more than once lol....... Was fun...

You mean 157 :stirthepot: :tup:

soon an airforce guy is going go chime in saying he's done Mach2.

Without a limiter or governor, how fast will the Z go? My top speed days are behind me (I'll be good. I almost promise).

This is a great read:

“ASPEN 20” – SR-71 – Groundspeed Check

I've heard that the aerodynamics won't allow it to go too much faster than the limiter. Maybe the 165/170 mark or so.

This. It'd probably run out of steam somewhere in the 160-170 mph range.

:bowrofl::rofl2:

But how does that compare to the Mustang GT? It's one of my criteria regarding being convinced to buy one over in the 40th Z vs. GT thread
Unthreadjack.

Probably around 170. It's got similar power to weight/aerodynamics as a C5 'vette.
