lol, an oval track? What fun is that?
Most tracks are technical w/ turns and probably a ~1/4 mile straightaway. Was only able to get up to 120-130 on the one I went to

I only race on the streets.



Ask any racer, any real racer. Street racing > tracks.

Like driving on a open road course? Are you out of your mind! You could get hurt doing that.

The FI guys on some tracks can reach speeds like what the OP said, but they are far and few between....

+1 for some tracks in a FI Z.

or other options are

Bonneville Salt Flats

El Mirage Lake bed

The silver state run possibly, but I've never run their "course" so I wouldn't know if its possible to get that speed in an N/A Z.... FI...definitely possible.

The only other option is a highway or something out in the mid west somewhere honestly. Just comes with the cop risk.

I think the OP has been watching a bit too much of 2F2F. Or maybe he is talking Grand Turismo? Someone should point out that the rated top speed of the stock Z is something a shade under 160 to begin with. Unless those numbers have changed, but I have never seen a review that said 169.
