i know 1st gear is around 40mph, 2nd is 70mph. But how fast do 3rd, 4th 5th and 6th gears take you? thanks guys

 

3rd--95

4th--120

5th--140

6th-160

jk im not sure..i dont have an 07 and not sure what rpm the rev limit is..

if noone posts just find out for yourself down the straight

 

It should say in the owner's manual, I think.

 

well i do know the Z is governed at 162 (right) mph, and thats at 5,400 rpms in 6th.

 

i've hit 103 in 3rd

 

The Z is not governed to 162mph, it is 159mph

You own a freaking 07' and havent redlined 3rd or 4th?!?

 

haha seriously..redlining 3rd is a must..4th is a so so

 

people have done 160mph in a stock '07, or at least that's what the digital speedometer said.

 

let me borrow your 07, I'll let you know...

my 04.5 is governed to 159

 

man!!! i was driving my friends evo for a bit earlier today and now i want to turbo my car lol but ya i did 100ish on 3rd before i tink

 

My 07 Touring hit 105 mph when i raced one of my friend's Evo VIII... but that was like right at 7,500 rpm or very very close to 7,500 rpm at that speed... not sure how the others.....
This is my first post ever since i joined this forum... NICE TO MEET YOU ALL

 

glad to see you on the boards..

just a major heads up

1.)its become a tough/harsh crowd here
2.)dont make a thread untill youve absolutely have used the search engine..or ppl flame hard such as the grumpy old fukcs
3.)dont take stuff seriously
4.)your duration with the z and meeting other Z owners will make you wanna mod the crap out if ur car..z owners are passionate here

 

yeah you can get into the 100s in 3rd. 4th i would guess would be at 140.

 

1> 45mph@7500rpm 2> 70mph@7500rpm 3> 100mph@7500 4>?? 5>?? 6>??

 

4th is more like 130ish. i've done it; i just didn't look down much though.

 

Yikes. I love the power rush at 4500

 

then you should be addicted once you hit it from 5000-7500. it's almost like boost. makes you think the car would break your neck if it was turboed.

 

an easy way to figure it out is as follows (by easy I mean no chance of a speeding ticket):

Pick an RPM...any will do...lets say 2000 rpm for simplicity sake.

Pick a gear...3rd...

Drive at 2000 rpm in 3rd.

Make a note of the speed.

Divide the redline of the vehicle by 2000. Multiple that number by the speed you made a note of...

presto...you have the speed for the given gear at redline.

This will work for any gear, in any vehicle with a tachometer. Granted the other way, floor it in 3rd gear and wait til the needle hits red is more fun, but this way works too.

 

Is this a joke?


3rd gear example @45MPH
6600RPM/2000RPM=3.3
45x3.3=148.5MPH in 3rd gear!!!! Look out Bugatti here comes my 2005 Z!!!!

 

if that formula was true, i think i'd go buy some wings for my Z and just fly everywhere. i'm pretty sure i could get it off the ground at 280 mph.
