OP, stop watching F&F**.. It kills brain cells!

Seriously, I would take it to dealer and have that checked out.

"My car topped out at 140mph this morning. I need one of these NOS bottles. No, make it two, the big ones. And Harry, I need them by tonight!"

First thing I thought when reading the title was omg, here come the nawwwz jokes LOL. Can we get more details on your car? Wheels, spoiler, mods? No what helps to top your car out? TT's. I swear, when I had the TT's, the Z would fly from 100 to 150 faster then stock 0-60, it came ALIVE anything over 110 mph...

I have a lot of boltons with 19" volks. I do have a spoiler. I'm thinking maybe the momentum.. meaning, when you step on it from, let's say, 60mph, it'll be easier to climb up to higher speed. I might've stepped on it at 100+, in which case, my car had to labor. Dunno.. this is only a theory.. I'll try again, when I'm cruising on an empty freeway.

a Z should never top out at 140. The vq alone is preety linear all the way to 165 and she still seems to have more in her.
