This was asked before but after searching I couldn't find an actual thread on it. Can the 350Z go 200+mph and what would it take to do it? This is a what if scenario but keep to real parts and add-ons without just putting a 350Z shell on a car that will do 200+. TRY to list parts and price just estimating if you know everything it would take.

 

From what I read it is a combination of increasing horsepower, but more importantly changing the gearing ratio...

 

i remember from a edition of super street a few years back where a 203 mph 350z was built... and wrecked... but it went 203 mph before it rolled!

 

That was the hooked up Le Manns......with the asian guy drivin it...and he flipped it in the desert in vegas!!!!!!!

 

the tire blew....

 

wheres the vid?

 

I think its possible with 600+ whp and the 3.3 gear swap. Very possible. I think the most important part is aerodynamics. You need enough downforce without causing the weight of the car to go past 4500 lbs. This isnt a scientific number, but what i'd expect it to be. (basically 1k lbs of downforce)

 

Well I guess it's possible but how much do you think parts cost to be able to do 200+?

 

If am not mistaken Nissan JGTC engineers say the Z body was capable of 200mph, and one of the main reason the JGTC Z had to be redesigned.

Of course if you throw enough HP at anything you can get it to 200mph, but realistic and street legal, I dont think its possible.

As for money wise it would be far cheaper to by a Ferrari versus the R&D to get a Z to 200mph

I very strongly feel that 425 crank hp and highway gearing will get you there without anything else.

 

if i hit 200mph i would purposely crash it because all my dreams would be fulfilled.

Yes. And the answer is determined by:

RPM
Tire diameter
Rear gear ratio
and transmission gear ratio.

 

After watching the video, nobody says anything after he crashes, watch!!! Some chick is going crazy but all the guys are thinking.......Damn that sucks!!! I'm glad the guy was ok, but the reaction on peoples faces got me laughing my a$$ off!

 

3.3fd in the 6spd on paper = approx. 215 mph

You're drag force F(D) will increase exponentially as you increase your velocity, Thus the power you also increases at an exponential rate to overcome the increasing drag force and continue accelerating (Purposely ignoring gearing, tire dimensions etc)

 

Do you mean it was not capable? This statement is kind of contradicting!
