145ish in a 06' Gti, felt smooth as butter at that speed. In the Z, only 120ish so far. On my Cbr, pulls to 130 happened ridiculously quick. God I miss that bike

MC 03-27-2012 05:56 PM

about 156 at VIR

warbird 03-27-2012 05:59 PM

I did 150 in the Nismo......I WILL NEVER EVER NEVER DO IT AGAIN. To be honest the car felt as though it was going to lift off the ground. I did not feel good.

prochobo 03-28-2012 10:58 AM

150-155 in my stock 370 on a long straight of country road. Was running out of road quick so had to slow it down, but the limiter woulda kicked in anyways.

Streetlife 03-28-2012 04:43 PM

100 in my Z but she's under break in still, and 120 in my wife's Acura 3.0CL.:driving:

Hard to go very fast when you live in a city as large as Houston, too congested, found a nice new route today (my Z is my weekend toy, found time to get away today to play) is the day i got her up to 100. I still had the most fun i've ever had behind the wheel, considering i'm still under my break in period.:happydance:

slo 03-28-2012 05:24 PM

170 in my well-modded 03' cobra, 170'ish indicated (probably 155-160 realistically on a track) and yes stupid, but 189 indicated on a highway in Florida. Last two were on a bike....

With my 370z I just got a couple weeks back, hmmm, maybe 85 for a split second. No use in going fast in a straight line, this car is slow as beans. But I like the car for other reasons, definitely not for any straight line bragging rights.

careful saying that on the Z forum although I completely agree with you in stock form coming from a fellow superbike rider :)

True you have a point, but in all seriousness, go to a relatively good car meet without F/I on the 370z and many of us admittedly or not will be shying away from any type of.....spirited straight line runs.

jofro6 03-28-2012 05:58 PM

140 in my 92 eagle talon back when i was in hs lol and 186 on my GSXR bike... both were speedo readings so not a true speed on the bike, probably closer to 165 real speed

nmjaxx9 03-28-2012 07:53 PM

love to see all the illegal speeding that goes on :stirthepot: :driving:

not that fast but a true nice story-LONG story!
 
In 1981 I bought my 2nd Z, a 280zx Black w tan leather & T tops. A nice car for that time.
I was coming back from the N.Y.S. Catskills(singles weekend at the Concord:) After switching to the left & passing lane, a big sedan got on my tail. I knew that I had a slick/sleek car, but since I drag raced a 1966 tri-power GTO, I knew that the Z was not fast. So I down shifted a couple of gears, then gunned it & power shifted through all the gears. Slowly his car got smaller in my rear view mirror & after loosing him over a hill & with the car not having any more gears to shift or rpm availible, I decided to slow down. There, I showed him, so I thought.
Well soon he appeared in my rear mirror & started to get larger & closer. Soon I saw him flashing his head lights from side to side. I thought maybe I should pull over. A uniformed cop with hand on holster/gun jumps out of what was at that time one of those new unmarked mognum 440 c.u. Chryslers. Oh sh*t !!! I mumbled something about just getting the car, drag racing past, & pleaded that he never put on his lights so I wasn't running away & some stupid jokes. Slowly he calmed down, we talked, I pleaded till he said I won't get arrested & he'll do me a favor & give me a ticken for going only at 105 mph. With the new lowered 55mph speed limit, 105 was 50 over the speed limit. He said anything over 50mph would result in losing my licence. Nice guy. I got really lucky. No engine governor(sp)? So I would guess 130mph. The Z's at that time did not have much H.P.

ydg27g 03-28-2012 09:19 PM

My mom came for a visit and wanted a ride in my 370Z, I took her up to 145 and backed off cuz I thought she would be scared, she looked at me and said "that's all it's got!!", so I proceeded to 155 ish haha

Hahaha... mine too. My mom came down to visit from NY and she was dying to get in the Z. I went from 0-60 in about and my car is pretty consistant in staying close to the mid 4's. Lol. She almost barfed. Lol

kevpotts 03-29-2012 12:19 PM

75-78 in the Z. I did 135 once when I was young and foolish.

If I was driving like that my mom would have slapped the sh1t outta me :icon17:

griff5k 05-02-2012 06:50 PM

My 08 350z never ran over 164
my 09 370z feels unstable at 140
my 07 cbr rr limits at 166
and my modded (and wrecked) 02 r6 typically runs outta road in the 180 range, fastest 182

k20z3 05-02-2012 06:55 PM

130 miles in 2003 Celica GT

ShinyBlueZ 05-02-2012 07:06 PM

:icon18: Nice........very nice man. My mom would be like WTF we are going to get a ticket.

Dallaz 05-02-2012 08:56 PM

140ish may have gotten it to 145 actually but it was only there for a second or 2 and i wasnt necessarily looking at the speedo, then slowed down pretty quickly

Streetlife 05-03-2012 09:50 AM

I went 120 last month on an early Sunday morning on the freeway, very light traffic, only thing stopped me is the break in period 4K RPM is the limit per gear, i'll admit it went a little past that time.:driving:

USMCram 05-03-2012 09:54 AM

150. I live in the middle of no where so I have lots of straights that no one ever travels surrounded by fields. It was fun. One awesome adrenaline rush. Not as good as my times in the Corps, but still good none the less.

issforged 05-03-2012 10:00 AM

Our shop Lexus IS-F is actually the fastest in the world in the standing mile, achieving 173 mph!

the fastest i've ever gone personally however is right around 205-206 in my cousin's Hamman Built BMW M6 on the Autobahn in Germany...and i can definitely say i will never do that on the autobahn again...
