I took the day off today to drive. 130 today on a closed road. It was as tight as my grip on the wheel. 600 mi, still have not seen over 5200 rpm. 400 more to go

I don't have a 350Z, but one of my co-workers does. I asked him how fast has he gotten his Z to. And he told me to 140mph! I was like:eek: because it's not broken in yet.

Now that my Z is officially broken in....

Only about 105 I think, but with a hopped up Accord with coffee can exhaust and stickers about 10 car lengths back. :)

Hey, he begged me for a run. One thing I noticed, VDC is very agressive. It didn't really let go until the very top of second gear.

135--trying to find a good dig camera for the next run;)

Gentleman, 140mph and still a lot left? Did you take the governor off or something. Cuz i believe this car is limited to 155. i love this car and i took it up to 110. but i did not feel like i could keep the pace going up to 150. maybe this is a biased opinion after drive my friends 550 maranello. but its def not substantially better above 100 mph than the bmw m roadster or a m3.

Just being realistic. But yes this car kicks ass!

PS. I guess some of us have the honeymoon syndrome, where the car can do no wrong. hehe :)

well last night
 
I got her up to 156-157mph won't go any higher, quite possibly speed limited, if it is its not an abrupt deacceleration so I'm thinking its drag limited. She needs a little more up top WERE da hell is the mad rush of aftermarket parts????:icon8:

You, sir, are stark-raving mad. I like it. :)

How stable does the car feel at 130+ speeds?

How about the brakes at that speed?

Boomer 09-20-2002 02:07 PM

How fast?
 
Only up to 90 w/35 miles on it. Too much traffic to go higher, but I took it easy w/ about 1/2 throttle on the AT. 90mph is about 31-3200rpm, I was really watching the traffic, so I can't get any more precise.

Also, the Z is electronically limited to 155mph according to Nissan and all the car mag articles.

150mph =about 5000rpms
 
Didn't get a chance to look down at 156-157mph(wouldn't budge over even on slight downslope so electronically limited) but at 150mph the RPMS were sitting around 5000rpm. CAbin noise gets a bit loud over 120mph, I don't have the aero package yet*grin*. Backend feels planted, front end could use a slighty larger wider tire(feels a hair floaty over 130mph also help w/ understeer that the car has) because it feels rearward biased. The steering is tight, no slack. Love the car, anyone else getting 3rd gear chirps??!:D
