Mach 1 + in a F-14 sitting RIO and 150 in the Z

 

130mph. Did it this morning at 3am. What a rush. Shifted to 6th at exactly 130mph. Was going to try to bury speedo but ran out of road fast. Car brakes extremely well at 130mph

 

I did 57 mph in a 55 mph zone in Father O'Flarety's Hyundai Tiburon, on the way to bingo night. Officer deputy dawg clocked us with his radar gun. He is such a nice boy. I'm glad they let him out of the psychiatric hospital.

Now if I could just find my teeth.

 

When I looked, got up to 127 on hyw 80. But since I was risking it all, I past the integra at 140. Scary fun. But maybe I will not do it again.

Damn, what a rush!

 

I got mine up to 157 mph on the digi about 4 times (route 78 jersey in between 1 - 4 am). It wont go past that. I seen a couple of u guys say 160, 156 etc so whats the actual gov at?

 

142 mph on interstate 95 2:30 in the morning... It was awesome...

 

Roselle Park eh? Friend of mine lives there. Joe Andres. Has an '88 GTA that runs 11s. Don't know how big Roselle Park is, but maybe you know him ?

 

They have speed limits in Montana again, although 5 or so years ago they didn't. Problems came with people that couldn't respect the "reasonable and prudent" limit that was in place, combined with excessive speed at night (speed limits have always been in place at night in Montana).

The key thing is that most of the Highway Patrol sticks to the major highways. Pick a minor highway or road, find a nice straight, and let 'er rip.

Just be careful - cars, animals, and the like don't take impact at 150+ well. There are more animals out there than you think, and they don't realize that the roads are traveled sometimes.

Go to MT if you can. They still have the equivalent of the $5 "wasting precious energy" ticket, although it's $20, and it only covers speeding up to 10 over the posted speed. Up to 20 over gets you a $40 ticket. Both can be paid on the spot, in cash, with no other recourse.

I got a $20 ticket there, and called to make sure that it wouldn't get reported. Answer: "We don't like other states or especially insurance companies. I suggest you enjoy the rest of your stay in Montana, and don't worry about it." 'Nuff said. Drive Safely!

 

one word - wow!

 

188km/h Japanese limiters suck !
And 3 mins 37 seconds for a lap at Motegi - had to follow a pace car

 

159? Governor? I do not have a 350Z yet... I'm currently having a house built, so I gotta wait a little bit until after closing on it, etc... Though it does have a 3car garage! :-)

Governor... Out of all the reading I have done, I didn't realize it had a governor, until I just pulled out an old issue of R&T and sure enough, it lists one, but it says it is at 155...

 

Roselle Park is a square mile so everyone knows everyone somehow. Ive seen him around quite alot and if its the same person your talking about i know he lives on a corner house like 5 blocks from me and he also has another nice car that always sits in the driveway but i forgot what that was.

 

I think 155 mph is the accurate speed gov. Coz no car speedo gives a precise reading
For my case, there was a difference between the digital and the analouge where the digi showing a mile shy

 

The official governor is 250 km/h wich is 155.4 mph. You are right.

someone arouund here how fast it will go without a speed limiter?

 

I said this above. Without the speed governor, 174-176 for the 5AT. Probably a little more for the 6MT.

Gurgen

 

174-176 seems a bit optimistic to me. A Z06 which has MUCH more power than our cars will only do 174, and it is probably only slightly less aero than ours. But has a lot more power and torque.

Wind resistance increases at the square of speed or something like that.

IE you need a lot of horsepower to just go a little bit faster. Especially at those speeds. So even if you added like 30 HP to a car I don't think it would go much faster top speed wise. Maybe a few MPH, if that.

 

it also depends on gear rations and stuff nog only aero and horsepower.

 

My indicated top speed of 174-176 is the theoretical max achievable with the rev limiter deactivated. I am sure that I will at best do mid-160's.

Now, just need to find a place to do it.

i was able to hit 150mph a few months ago following behind a ferrari f360 modena before my ***** dropped and i slowed down. not bad for having been only 17. done on i-95 in miami around 3am. ive also done around 130-140 many times on i-95 and the florida turnpike any time ive had the opportunity. never had enough roadway to get higher than that without reaching other cars.

'03 silverstone track
fully loaded except the navi system
stock besides about 100+ pounds of audio that will be forever in the works
hopefully i'll get to performance upgrades eventually
