370Z top speed record?

Masterbeatty · 09-08-2014, 08:04 PM

I searched for a top speed record for ours cars and came up with nothing other than a autobahn run to 175mph.

Has anyone attempted this at bonneville or the texas mile? I would hope that someone with twins would be able to do 200 with a lower final drive. It would be bitchen to see a Z hit 200.

I'm kinda amazed it would do 175.

And our cars won't even break the limiter within a mile TBH, not even with TTs. Ze Germans are your best bet, but I doubt you'll see 200MPH, and I assume some aero is needed at that speed too

Didn't someone post a track day video at 175 recently? Maybe at Road America?

I don't see why a twin turbo with E85 couldn't get to 175 in a mile. Some math nerd help me out here but if I can do 120 on 93 octane in a 1/4 mile in 4th there is a lot of room for more GO.

*Edit: Hell...what did the twins do at ZdayZ on the runway?

Doesn't work like that, the faster you go the harder it is. And not linear, exponentially harder

i know for TT G37 it hit 155 but it ran out of room on the road.

Arrvaxx · 09-08-2014, 10:25 PM

Was it E85?

Our Z group in Taiwan tested it on highway and the top speed for N/A with full bolt-on is 283 km/h which is almost 177mph.

Now that's what I expected. Yeah agree that after that things get hard. I mean it took 1000 hp to get a GTR to 200. I just thought 155 was low.

Just FYI .. thats a top speed of a stock 07-08 G35 HR sedan, but limiter was removed of course. (it did 280 km/h to be more specific).

We hit that speed and stayed at that speed for almost 5km with an 7AT in 6th gear, same speed with 7th gear. The problem is the aero, not the power. You'll need a lot more power (FI) to overcome that aero problem. Oh and this is the GPS record, not the speedo on the car that has the 20km boosting, lol

Hitting 200mph takes power and aero. After 180 you have to push hard to hit 200 and beyond that you have to seriously increase horse power to make the smallest gains!

Didn't the 350 cut out at 169
