I cannot seem to go above 130, I get to scared about cops. One time I was doing 110-120 and I flew past one of those police stands. Scared the sh*t out of me but nothing ever came of it!

137 Mph On I-95 North Belair Maryland Between Exit 77 And 80, Heavily Policed. I Could Not Shake The Mercedes Cls 55 Amg On The Way To Work!!! He Had To Be Going 150+ Fast Car For $90,000, A Four Door Sedan That Can Move Like That Is Ok In My Book!!!!

160+ mph 3 or 4 times this summer... Its a thrill!! I apologize to those that may think i misrepresent the Z community. I dont, am a proud part of this group. I never push my car while driving, just sometimes late late late at night i'll open 'er up making maybe a 6th gear pull or even go through them..

160 at about 4 in the morning on I-95 with a friend in front of me scouting for cops, traffic, and curves. 140 more times than I can count. 150 when I get board.

155 past carlisle PA, 140 through tuscon AZ against a AUDI RS4, he should've won but I had more *****. 158 I-40 NM, I have it up in the 150's a good bit. I travel from east coast to west coast a lot. I know a lot of fun roads. On open roads I usually casually drive at 120 or so. The car can hold that just fine and still got some ***** for some good pick up and go if you need. I haven't felt it cut it self off yet, I believe that around 157 or so it is supposed to. Does a new ECU let you go any faster and can anyone verify that or tried yet?

I'v noticed a couple posts about people going 159/160 and feeling the ecu stopping the car from going any faster. I know with the Mk4 Supra's they were electronically limited and you could pull the traction control and get up 20 more MPH top speed. Is possible with the Z also? Can you pull a fuse or somehow take off the restriction? Cause from the posts it sounds like the car is still pulling till it hits the 160 mark.

Not that i would try 160 or anything more than that personally except for on a track but i was just curious.

Nope. It's limited at the ECU. My base model doesnt have TCS and it's still limited to 159. I've hit the limiter numerous times before. I've kept it pegged for several miles at once. I've kept it pegged up and down grades. It pegs 159 and stays there; it won't budge.

137 this past weekend on a backroad in south GA. I was saying "Please God no deer....no deer...." No cars were around though and my GPS showed no upcoming roads.

133mph on a good stretch of highway (Route 2) here in Costa Rica. I had to let go of it because I was running out of good road... but it felt rock solid all the way and I think that it could have given me a bit more easily.

It was 3AM on a weekday, so no people around at all.
