Has any one else taken their Z up to around 140mph? (on a closed racing circuit of course, lol) I did and at about 135-145mph I heard a audible warning buzzer I think of some sort. It could have been just some weird wind noise on some external piece of the car, not sure. Any feed back? BEN

 

i did 145 and i was cool...nothing weird and ****

 

My Top speed is around 88 MPH. I usually try to stay under that though, cause if I do go that fast I keep winding up in 1955.

Had 160 on the digital. 162 on the analogue. No strange noises.

 

153 on the digital, no problems.

 

I've heard that sound, check your rear view mirror for a distant cop car. Thats what mine always ends up being.

 

159 on the digital speedo...no weird sounds

 

155, only sound was the voice in my head saying "Thats good, slow down before we get caught"

On a side note, the car was very stable at those speeds with no floating or anything. Planted to the ground with total control.

 

Ben-

Told ya so!
The gov is set to 160 I think....

[Thanks for your feed back guys. Yeah it felt real stable at that speed but the noise distracted me to much. I cant exactly go into the dealer and try to get that looked at either. Could you imagine trying to tell the service dept that to recreate the sound they need to take a drive around 145 mph!! Not a chance. Thanks guys. BEN

 

If the guy in the service dept is afraid to drive it that fast - just tell him you'll drive and he can just ride and enjoy!

 

Mine would'nt go past 156. But there was probably a lot of noise coming from the rx-8 that was a 1/4 mile behind.

 

Ive done 155...but was paying atttention to the road and not my tach, where were your tach needles?

How much farther to red line and how easy or hard is it getting the damn governer off ?

 

Took mine to 140, no strange noises, actually quite smoothe.

 

159 both speedos. Numerous occasions. No weird sounds. Firmly planted.

 

144 on digital read for about a minute. really smooth!

 

i've taken a 1995 ford escort up to 112 mph. scary stuff.

 

I had my 1990 300ZX up to 125 a couple times - it hugged the road and I felt very secure - so strange movements at all (the people ahead of me moved over into the right lane real quick - lol )

 

I have taken my buddies Kawasaki zx9 2001 up to 174 mph. A real rush, but once is enough, never again.

 

I've driven a Z roadster (not mine) at 140 with the top down. It was extremely stable at that speed, and the wind buffeting was less than I would have thought. I've driven my coupe at 125, and it was stable as well with no buzzing noise.
