Haven't maxed out the Z yet, but I had my 2001 ZRX1200R up to 152mph and my 97 WS6 up to 160mph.

Near the famous LIMP MODE... but When was reaching 120°C I stop accelerating... Never went into Limp mode (Or whatever it calls) but I wasn't to far from ir ;)

I ask the dealer before starting the trip back home (1700kms) If I can push it hard, and he said "There is no problem, the engine comes ready, you don't have to wait to do some kms to push it.."
So I follow his advice... No problems happened till now with 5000km :tup:

I agree with all of these points.

I wonder how fast a 370Z is at Road America between turns 3 and 5?

I just recently hit a speed that I never thought I would of... Will never do it again but it was a rush. I told a few people and they just looked at me like I was crazy.. Maybe I am? I pushed it hard and it wasn't done. I was VERY impressed with its stability.

I had a brand new M3 in front of me who said he hit 156. It was the funnest few moments I have had with this car as well as the stupidest thing I have done, in my life, lol.

Conditions were as optimal as they could possibly of been on the street.

Terminal speed before going for the brakes for T1 over 233kph (thats 145mph) at the end of the straight at Philip Island GP Circuit - you enter the straight in 5th gear (6MT) at around 5200rpm.

See the vid @ YouTube - Nissan 370Z at Philip Island R2.avi as we play with some 300ZX TT. The first time down the straight is about 1m10s into the vid and ~2mins each lap thereafter - this is the responsioble way to enjoy your Z "at speed" .....

I also have some video to load up of my Sports Race Car which has a terminal speed of 268kph at the same location - this is a 970kg dedicated race car fitted with 400hp aluminium V8, quad throttle bodies, open exhaust system, fat wheels on slick race rubber etc

I've only just gotten past recommended break-in miles, so I've only taken the Z up to about 100-105 briefly so far.

I've had my old s/c'd Celica GT-S over 150... empty bridge late at night.

I'll have an answer for you in October. Can't wait to find out!

Great track, nice vid.

300zx top speed stock is 174mph heheh...my Z is still the BEST!
