Taking a drive to vegas in a few weeks let's see what the Z can do

155 in my G sedan

and max I could manage till now in Z is close to 160-163

55mph.

120 mph in my Z. I wanna find an airstrip nearby so I can do a top speed run.

I'm lucky, man. Our highway system has speed limits at 65, so I've gone that fast.

97mph stateside in a Toyota Tacoma PreRunner.
108mph in an A160 Benz rental in Germany on the autobahn...Top speed.
~180mph in a Porsche GT3 around the Ring (too bad I wasn't driving with this one tho :icon17:)

at least my dd feels like it's going 100mph at 55mph... add crosswind it feels like 150mph. :tup: :icon14:

engine limited at 158, keeps pulling though.

1992 Porsche 968 with 3 liters of displacement and 4 cylinders, 4-speed tiptronic (yes, they already tiptronic in 1992) - I **** you not: 270 km/h (on German Autobahn)

2006 Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa - 270 km/h (Autobahn)

2009 Porsche Carrera S - 280 km/h (Autobahn)


That's it ;-)
Bit hard to go fast here in Australia, but I will give the Z a beating down a track soon.

I got the oldest ride to high speed so far I think, can anyone get under a 1964?

120 MPH in a 1964 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88, Dad driving, in 1967 (my first time to 120)
147 MPH in a 91Z TT on Autobahn

155mph in my 370 last week. Felt great and was still pulling when I lifted(for my exit).....

i did 1mph doing up my driveway into my garage. :p

Intense.

yes, it's all in the clutch work. :tup: :rolleyes: :p

Did you have to replace your tires afterwards? I heard that can be tough on them.

I'm up to 152mph in the Z. Have gone faster in other cars.

In the Z about 110, several times but very briefly, on a big gap in traffic on the freeway, or off on some mountain road. I'd never go past another car at that speed.

125 on a regular basis, for long distances at a time, in my Dodge Daytona when I was 20yo driving to school and back.

155 on a motorcycle, on the track.

125 on a motorcycle, on the road.

155mph- 05 Honda VFR Interceptor 800 motorcycle
150mph- 06 Subaru WRX... still pulling hard but brakes suck at high speed
130mph- so far 10 Nissan 370Z... still pulling and felt stable

120 in the Z.

125 (track) yesterday in my Z...first time, trying it out that fast.... felt like i was going 60-70 mph.... really smooth ride.

196 in my gsxr1000 fully worked

now I have had the z to 168 mph

160ish on the CBR, (on the track of course). I've hit about 120 in the Z...nothing too impressive.

Why do you own a 2 seat sports car and drive the speed limit. That makes no sense to me. Get a Prius.

Because it's the law. Also, that's what tracks are for :icon17:

a secret.

Be sure to follow all these laws too
Dumb Laws in Maryland. Crazy Maryland Laws. We have weird laws, strange laws, and just plain crazy laws!

:bowrofl:

Will do sir :tiphat:

What are your mods? Did it feel like there was any more room to go after that? It seems that you've got the highest speed in a Z on this thread.

Somehow true :wtf2:

Oh, I did actually get 150 in my Z this past Tuesday! Beat my old P.R. of 145

38.2 mph - 2008 Specialized Tarmac Elite (solo)

I do plan on hitting 50-55... some time in the next two years....

I feel if your going to exceed 170 mark, It really need more down force. as for topping that speed idk maybe on a longer flat road as i was at 7300 rpm iirc.

120mph- 91' Miata

130mph-370-Ran our of road....

Keepin mind that where I'm from highway speed limits range betwen 25-35mph

130 in my STI, didnt have it long enough to go any faster

145 in my 370 with plenty of power and room to easily keep going faster

Governor on my (350)Z kicks in at an "indicated" 159.

125 on my 370z

went 165mph 2 weeks ago which is around 5mph more than what I did last summer...

prolly like 85

My Young and dumb numbers:

83 Toyota Supra - 140
72 Datsun 240Z - 160
02 Yamaha R6 - ~174

155 in the nismo. 189 cbr1000rr however bike speedos r usually off I would say close to 175. I will never top out a bike again.
