I definitely do not think this is the wisest thing I've done but thought I'd share.

This weekend, on an interstate I know pretty well with NO cars or cops in sight, heading from Austin to Houston, I decided to see what she could do. Did two 115 mph runs, incredibly stable (unlike my modified 1996 Accord at 115mph which started to get shaky, FYI: my previous highest speed). Hit 141mph, got too chicken, and stopped there. And she was still pulling. Still very stable, but NEVER AGAIN. It was those one time deals for me, but exciting and FAST nonetheless.

BTW, 1600 miles on the odometer at that point. My "post break-in" procedure

 

I got my z into the triple digits for the first time on the road yesterday. Hit 120 racing a Cadillac CTS on the highway. And yes, it was suprsingly stable, felt the same as going 60 or 80

 

I have about 1500 miles on my car. Highest I have gone so far is 81 mph. Haven't really gotten a chance to have the road to myself yet to really test the car out.

 

125mph on a closed circuit...wouldnt try anything like that on streets or highways, my insurance rates are dirt cheap and I would like to keep it that way.

 

well i have a coupe and ive gone 147mph while racing an M3 and it gets a little light at that speed!

 

125mph trying to get away from an RX7 with a huge muffler(so it must be fast right?) I was pulling till I saw a car way up ahead and shut down, of course he blew past me like he"PWND" me...

 

There was a HUGE thread on this a few months back... I've maxed it out at 159 (on a closed course of course ) along with a number of other people...

 

Took it to 140 then it started to scare me a little. I couldn't believe how steady the car was, felt like it was glued to the road.

 

Drove a 2002 M3 SMG Convertible 120 mph when i worked for BMW.
Drove my brother's 2001 Mustang GT 115 mph today!!

Sadly though, both times i felt REALLY stupid...but it was soo easy.

 

The 350Z is monster stable compared to the 240Z. The 240Z really had the aerodynamics of wing at anything over 90. You could steer with a finger since there was no pressure on the front tires. NOT a confident feeling. The 350 is much more planted. The problem is the stopping distances at speed are extreme.

 

Yea, I remember that thread. I didn't want to raise it from the dead so decided to make a fresh one. =)

 

i hit 500 today on I85. then i drove straight into the back of a minivan...

 

sucks for you

 

137mph

 

ha ha, i was going 98 mph, about to hit triples for the first time, when 2 troopers pulled on the freeway!!! AAAAHHHH! shut it down quick. havent gotten to 100 yet. i would like to do it on a track rather than street.

 

10 mph. I had a flat since i got it but too poor to buy new tire. My food stamps are late and it cost an arm and a leg to register as a child sex offender.

 

I have done 136mph and I'm trying to find a place I can push her to top speed!!

 

Hit 159mph in digital speedo.
It was very stable. But wind noise was crazy.
Took several SLIGHT left/right curves (highway curves) and the car was holding on the road fine.
But man the needle on the speedo was moving SLOW after 150mph.
Great acceleration for 300hp car though.
Tachometer was at around 5200rpm, and maintained over 150mph for 15 minutes, temperature hike was negligible. (My cars almost stock in terms of engine mods except intake/exhaust.)

Wonder how fast FI Z's with speed limiter removed can go?
Say, 190mph sounds possible with those with built engines? (Good cooling system should be a must in that case IMO.)

 

15 mintues at 150mph!

that's nearly 40 miles in 15 minutes...

 

I did 135 on a slight uphill grade. I figured cops wouldn't be gunning an uphill grade.
