Was on a two lane road....no other traffic....stopped...put trans into 3rd gear...brought RPM up to 2500 and attempted to take-off. Could not keep RPM above 2500 as clutch engaged....but got car going, then pressed pedal to floor....holy crap!!....drove over a cattle guard...rear tires spun...traction control lite illuminates....hit pavement again...holy crap!!....saw a red light flash on the tach and saw speedo at 90mph....removed foot from pedal and coasted down to 50mph......holy crap this car can go!!!

Will definitely have to do this on the highway......

My car gets loose on the cattle guards too...gotta watch for em.

Just to close this....
I took my Z out yesterday afternoon and once engine was all warmed-up, did the "pull" from a roll. Actually did the "roll" three times, but 2nd was not very good as I did not have the accelerator all the way down.
Anyways will be reviewing the data logs with Eugene later today.

Oh and no cattle guards...

Thanks for all the replies

Just to add to this....
Have done about 10 3rd gear "pulls" now, and just did my 2nd flash yesterday along with a 4th gear "pull" as Eugene wanted to see a longer duration "pull". Well that was fun....lucky that no police were around as the data recorded a top speed of 124 mph before rev limit was obtained!....yee-haw!!
