But once I hit 140mph, then things seem to slow down a lot more.

Well this is coming from a banked straight so I guess it feels more sluggish to get to 140. Actually, let me clarify. From 120 to 140 seems to take a bit longer than I would like but I guess all told, I am covering that span in about 2 or 3 seconds and an 8th of a mile??

Haha... when I put it that way, I guess it's not so bad!

About drag limit. It is a little bit strange to me. Here are few facts:

Audi TT mk2 (second generation):
Drag coefficient 0.30
2.0TFSI FWD S-line - 2889 lbs curb weight - 200HP

my top speed was 280+ km/h on tachymeter (272 km/h by Garmin GPS) on long straight on Autobahn with grippy tyres, but traction control since 260 was blinking

Tyres - 245/40/18" (in S-line, basic were 225/50/16")

3.2 VR6 quattro with 3250 lbs (3262 lbs for S-tronic) curb weight - 250HP
electronically limited top speed to 250 km/h
Tyres - standard 225/44/17"

TTRS 2012 MT - 3306 lbs - 360HP
Drag coefficient 0.32
Top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h or 280 km/h (option with Carbon Air Box). BTW: 0-62 in 4.1s in 2012 version!
Tyres - 245/40/18" - Height is 10mm lower than standard TT

370Z 3232 lbs curb weight - 328 HP (in Europe)
Drag coefficient 0.29 in sport package thanks to chin spoiler and rear wing
(0.30 in BASE)
Top speed 250 km/h - why not higher without el. limiter?

Funny how the comments quickly became a Mustang/Camero vs Z, but boy if they visit this forum, we don't give a damn, we love both cars.

The Z on Z hate always gets me... doesn't make any sense.

Especially because it's a no brainer that the 370 is vastly improved in just about every category.

Youtube is hilarious.

Anyways, I have first hand experience on this topic... the 168 mph estimate is very close.

4r3s · 12-16-2011, 01:56 PM

the way the US is about cars I'm surprised its not mandated in a law somewhere that all cars be electronically limited to 100mph...

They will accomplish that goal by forcing us all to drive the Prius.

Def not drag limited, i have topped mine out at 154 according to GPS, with plenty left to go...

The car is drag limited. It doesn't have enough power to push past 165-168mph.
