As I said, I am not sure, but if I can do 105mph+ in 3rd gear, are we saying that between 4th, 5th and 6th gears I will only be able to get an increase of 20MPH per gear set before each one maxes out..?

 

Having more whp won't change your shift points. You will fly through the gears faster, but will have to shift just as much. You will be at redline in 6th gear before you hit 200mph. If you up your redline, maybe, although I wouldn't be comfortable pushing it to 7100 or 8000 rpms in 6th gear unless your motor is built like a brick sh**house.

 

^^ Best technical answer so far. ^^ Keepem coming guys. My buddy keeps tripping that it's not possible at all. I'm sure that taller gears and a wing for added down force in the rear and long enough strech of road should just about do it. I don't think that anything more than 400hp would be needed to seal the deal.

 

I understand what you are saying, makes sense to me. I guess it would just surprise me that each gear would only get me another 20MPH, but I guess I am redlining it in 3rd, so each time I shift it will only have a short distance to go before redlining again…

Very interesting and valid point. Thanks

 

Car has been up to 160 and it was very grounded so has my buddies. with both have a large list of mods though. Everything from coilovers, lowered, sways, solid diff mounts, gt spec braces and stillen braces, and bbk's to stop at that speed haha

 

The stock 350z actually creates lift at speed....not downforce. This is especially so in the front. I'm going to guess that at that speed the front wheels are going to be way too light for my liking. Of course adding downforce means adding drag...which means you need more powa to get to 200.

 

lmao! ^^ take off the rearview mirrors...tape up all the body panels, tons of downforce, my buddies father in law went 216 in a porsche 928 with 700whp with tons of body mods, ohh and he put about 200lbs of lead in the frame
(lowest point) to keep it stable....
