I feel ya, man that does sound great rolling along at 90-155mph for me 135mph at lengths of 10-20 miles per slightly twisting straight away roads. The Autobahn must be great. Rolling along side Bmws, Benzs, Audis/VWs/Porsches or anything that can keep up sounds great.

I can just imagine after a run like that how your car feels. After I come off the a long trip on the highway driving 60-70mph most tiimes. The car feels like its running at its peak that would really feel great after a run like you are doing daily.

I'm so jealous I'm turning green. I guess I'll go through the S-curves at camp grounds that I frequent motoring 50-60mph, imaging that I'm side by side with ya on the Autobahn.

You lucky dog! I think I hate you. Just kidding I think.

i said at one time that people who always drive higher speeds more distances and really work their engine's will always have a faster car compared to the people who hardly drive and do stop and go driving..due to the fact that you de carbonize the engine and blow all the crap out when you work the engine hard .keep it in shape so to say. .cause if ya don't it will build up cholesterol (carbon)
off course. .i got flamed for that 1 too!!!!

Maybe the G is different. I used to go back and forth across the state all the time. I would run between 130 and 147 (interesting that that's the number everyone uses). I was going through air conditioner belts every couple months. I slowed down and my A/C belt has been going strong now for almost 10K miles. I still redline it all the time, I just don't do the sustained 5,500 rpm + for many many miles on end. My G is an '06 6mt.

Agreed. American drivers are too busy stuffing their fat asses with food and talking on the cell phone at the same time for the speed limits we have now. Can't even remember how many times I've been cut off/tailgated/almost killed/etc. etc.

I agree Americans are some of the friendiest people in the world imo, UNTIL they arm themsleve with their CARS, then its get out my way baby!! In Texas and the east coast they drive with good ethics, but not in the bible belt homtown OKC.

I occassionally get her up to 110mps or more but you have to figure out thier DONUT break time, usually I do it at night between shift change. At 110-120 mph she sats down and handles that speed like a champ. You know you are in a sports car because all she is saying at 120mps is lets GO!!

I have to watch out being a Redline Z they will past other white and black Zs just to ticket Me!!!

Last time I got a ticket that is just what happen past up a Buick just ahead of me, a Lancer side by side and pulled me over 11 miles over the speed limit 9 miles over and they won't even stop ya, luck of the Red Z owners.

It would be nice to be on the autobahn just to see what she would do, I'd like to legally do 137mph for about 30 minutes or an hour!

I like black 350Zs with tan leather was my second choice would have matched my 2000 Q45 but I felt you only live once and I felt at my age they stop and check me out less which is true. In my 87 and 92 red Zs they use to stop me just to run a 29 usually no ticket just checking. Anyway I like Red and Black is my 1st choice for a sedan and 2nd for a sports car.

Black makes for a stealthy 350Z for sure!!!

My 350z is a turtle compared to my Grand Am SE. I'm disappointed.
