I want that 169 mph motor so we can win the Runoffs at Road America.

 

you could use mine....i did 168mph in the bowl at summitt point

 

What track , i highly doubt you could hit 169mph on Willow main nor Cal Speedway with a NA Z.

 

homosayswhat? ... wtf are you talking about sir?

 

here he comes, here comes speed racer, he's a demon on wheels... he's a demon and he's gonna chasing after someone...

 

OP, if you're looking for an all-out straight that LEGAL to do, I suggest entering this:

It's the closest thing you'll find to what you're looking for. Most tracks don't have a long enough straight to get to those speeds safely w/out having to brake hard at the end.

 

OP - what tracks in California do you go to? Some we frequent are Thunderhill Raceway, Sears Point Raceway, Laguna Seca Raceway (Monday - woot!), Buttonwillow, and Big Willow.

With LOTS of HP, I was only able to hit low 140s down the big straight on Big Willow. Part of it may have been the pucker factor and the sharp left 90 at the end, but 160+ was still FAR away.

 

Back straight at Road Atlanta maybe 145-150 mph

 

Spokane Raceway Park in Washington state. Viper Competition coupes can hit 170 and GT-3 cup cars hit 160 but huge pucker factor at turn 1 and 2.

 

I hit 176MPH at Sebring on the long straight entering turn 17. I had 565WHP It scares the **** out of me braking into turn 17 since I trail brake the entry. I passed the ALMS Compuware GT1 car on that straight. But That car can brake much later than mine and the speed he was able to take turn 17 was insane.

 

I hit 140mph+ on streets, no tracks around here. Damn what a rush, zoomed by a parked cop he didn't even try. This was on a hwy in the mountains, out of town of course, so only endangering myself and maybe the pine trees around me haha. The car was so slow to accelerate at this speed, but the turns and hills probably didn't help.

 

Many of us run on the tracks.

 

Actually it does happen. Mine hit 160 where the speed limiter stopped it. But it isn't a "track" but it is a controlled event.

It's called Texas Mile or Big Bend Open Road Race.

152 mph exiting Turn 2 at the Cal Speedway Roval just before braking for the 90 into the infield. That was with a pro driver behind the wheel. My speed was about 140 at the same spot. I didn't have the ***** to not lift into Turn 1, even though I saw Erik do it repeatedly, lap after lap while I was riding passenger. Basically stock 2006 350Z with 285/30-18s, shocks, ARBs, OS Giken LSD, custom bushings, and a few other things under the car.

145 mph Turn 8 at Willow Springs big track - 140 mph at the end of the front straight. Traditionally Turn 8 is the fastest part of the track at WSIR.

FYI... all of the above are speedometer numbers so they are probably high by 3%?

 

You can hold 145 in the sweeper of turn 8 but not go faster from 9->1? Interesting!

 

As I said above, traditionally Turn 8 is the fastest part of the track at WSIR. You have a much longer distance to accelerate from the apex of Turn 5 to the entry of Turn 9 then from the apex of Turn 9 to the entry to Turn 1. In most cases you can keep your foot to the floor all the way through Turn 8.

 

whats this "had" stuff, did you finally decide to detune the car like we discussed last event? i was going to chime in and state there are a lot of
cars i have seen hit 160+ at track events at sebring and i know your car was one of them, it might could do 180 if "i" was driving hahaha!!!!!

you better kick some butt this weekend jet, i'm dying to see what the car can do with the right formula of mods and you giving it all its got finally.
i will be off work the weekend of the may event so i can come watch you
then-maybe co-drive 1/2 the day? i am jonesing to get on track again.
