The drag coefficient is .30 for all Z's except the track model which has a coefficient of .29. The reason being is because of the trunk spoiler. If u have a Z with the trunk spoiler then your drag coefficient is also .29.

It was the guy's first post. I'm sure he didn't think to check the date. At least he searched for the correct topic and bumped an old thread instead of starting a new one. He would have been flamed for that too. Give him/her a break.

I'm assuming this thread doesn't apply to the HR, or does it?

Yes, the HR will hit the speed limiter in 5th gear.

Since we know that creating a new thread based on a searchable topic is taboo, how new does a thread have to be in order to be safely bumped without the bumper being criticized for resurrection?

Can we come up with some kind of algorithm to figure this out? The internets can be tough.

I think this is important information.

i've hit 156 and had it pinned for a good 10 seconds and it would not go past that.
I have an 03 track.. it was basically stock when i did that, just a popcharger.

162 on GPS around the top lane of the high speed bowl at Millbrook.. The track they have used on Top Gear tests.

Stock speedo is out by 10% over approx.. or it is in the UK anyway! GPS at 90mph reads 99 on the speedo and 97 on the digital!
