Default Opened it up (within the rules) today!

I was driving home from my office in Ohio (about 20 miles from home) and on a long straight away I took it up to 4000 RPM's in 6th. I looked at the digital speedo and saw 107 MPH!!! I couldn't believe I was going that fast since the ride was so smooth. I have gone much faster in my Stealth but at 90-95 and above it seemed like you were really flying in the Stealth. Maybe because the engine noise was MUCH louder than the Z. To compare, 107 in the Z seemed like 85-90 in my Stealth.

I can't wait to see that magic number of 1200!

Oh wow, doc, I missed where you got your car. Congratulations!! The doctor is finally in -- his Brickyard 350Z.

Feels good, don't it? (Yes, intentional grammatical error, no corrections please.)

Heh, that's pretty cool Doctor, I got one more MPH out of J.J.'s Z when I took it to 4000 in 6th...it's such an amazing car. 108 feels like 50, I'm looking at the speedo, I KNOW I shouldn't be doing 108 in a 60, and I'm begging for a ticket, but I just didn't care because it was the Z!!! Hopefully I'll be able to control myself when I get mine.....(riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight......) Thanks again J.J.! I SO owe you.

Wow, you're still waiting to get me back for that one! It was a long time ago; let it go...

(I'll have to be careful from now on now that I am a target. Oh well, I asked for it! )

i hit 114, and for the first time was scared for a ticket rather than than my life. I did 104 in my 280z, and I feared crashing. The 350 is just so freakin stable its scary!!!!!! I had no idea I was goin 114 till I looked down...its on a down hill freeway that immediately starts to grade back up, so people always go a little peppy.

WATCH THAT SPEEDO!
