I'm 61 and have had 06 Touring AT for about 3 months. Once did 102 (according to the digital speedo) before chickening out. However, I have been known to reach cruising speed and beyond rather rapidly. Still love it!

18 years old. I've had my Eclipse to 100 even. That was back in my less mature days. Haven't gotten to drive the Z yet. I'm not as wild as I used to be, so I can safely say I won't be going fast enough to talk about.

Posted already, but improved my 111mph to 131mph. 66 yrs old. (Don't you want to be in a car doing 131 with a guy that has 66 year old reflexes, hmmm?)

I have to say you're pretty sharp for your age. I've seen youre calculations in the forum and the way you contribute in posts and there is certainly high IQ output up there. I'll bet you have a hard time with chicks or spouse for wanting things youre way and stuff. Common charasteristics in smart people. My mom is a psicologist, so I have learned a few tricks like id some of that stuff.

I'm heading to Raceway park tomorrow for Z day. Was all set to try for 120+ by keeping it floored a little past the 1/4 mi finish line but looks like big time rain tomorrow so its not lookin good.

51 Years, 153 indicated, over 100 once a week on the way to work just because I can, Z06 on order, looking for 200. Yes, I have had much track time and driving instructions. I have been living on borrowed time for 30 years so who cares? No questions.

I'm 52 and topped out at 121 so far but that was before Injen SES and plennum spacer so I think my Z now has a little more in the tank

23 years old and 135 mph (in the Z). My Peronal Best top speed was 144 mph in a '95 Rx7. I had more road when I strung out the Rx7 than when I did with the Z.

Thought about both. Never been a Porsche fan and and to get as much performance would cost a great deal more. The M3 with the V8 is not out yet and will only be about 425 HP and again cost more. The Zo6 is the best bang for the buck. I had a BMW and am a fan of German cars but value is also a consideration.
