So how fast will this new ECU let you go?

Maybe some of you with the beta can answer...

 

Faster than 154mph. Beyond that, top speed will be based on your mods (power) and gearing. I would speculate in it's stock form 170 - 175mph is on par.

 

YOu really think 175?!?! I would guess more along the lines of 160 or so. When you start going that fast, it takes LOTS of power to get up more and more. My cousins Ferrari 348 Spyder only went 178 with the top up and 145 with the top down. That car is relatively aerodynamic and also has 320 HP. A lot more than the Z does!!

 

the z is drag limited at 179 it wont make it there in stock form though. my guess would be in the 165 range

 

I'll go with zaphod on this one I say right about 170 but I'll do you all one better... maybe I'll try it... hehehe

SPEED FREAKSSSS!!!!!

-non

 

I think it could do 170. I had my audi S4 up at 174 with a chip and exhaust.

 

What is the formula for calculating the drag limit of a vehicle?

 

i have no idea. thats the number car and driver came up with

 

Personally , Im thinking 180+ with intake, pullys, exhaust, and headers... minus the MPH limiter.

I did the 156 in the Z already and I was only half way through 5th gear........

I guess investing in the chip will come before turbos.

 

my guess would be 170mph.. it's probably drag limited, but not gear limited..

with the stock hp, maybe it would take some time to get there too.... but imo, too dangerous to try the top speed... be very very careful if you do..

 

Uh, I don't think there is any way to do 170 careful. Unless your in Utah on the salt flats!!
