120 is nothing for a Z or a G. You should be able to do that by accident.

I am a new 2007 touring Z owner and just got over my break in period this week. I've been itching to floor it to redline since I've bought the car a month ago but have not done so until last night. I got up to 142mph (as indicated by the digital speedometer) but had to slow down because I was approaching some traffic on the Mass Pike. The ride was very smooth! I freaking love this car!

Thanks for the info, fowlman.

Perhaps "struggle" is too strong a word to describe the G getting to the same speed as the Z.

The Cd of the Z (no aero) is .30 whereas the G (no aero) is .27 - is that correct? If so, what am I missing when it comes to speed and stability between the Z and the G? Or maybe the real answer is that I miss driving the Z.

I have never driven a G, so I don't know.

between 145 and 150. it seem to max out somewhere in there but the speed would creep very slowly after 145. I've got the nismo rear spoiler on my car and it helps a ton. at around 130 it feels like the car gets lower to the ground and at 140 it feels like it is on rails. i love my Z
