You are correct. Actual speed 100.0 MPH. Speedometer will read 106.86 MPH.

 

well no i did accidently say it backwords or at least weird. shorter than stock tire means the car is moving slower than speedo says, taller tire means car is moving faster.

whatever, we all understand that. the entire point was that the FD wont effect the speedo, just the tire size.

 

Do you want a cookie?

I'm just saying stock with exhaust and flash I was at 171 before it stopped pulling. 200+ or don't post.

 

That's you. A lot of people are scared to push it because... well... it's not a Euro car. The G sedan with a stock exterior would shine at 200+ because of the lower 0.26 drag coefficient even though no one is willing to step up.
Do you have any aftermarket exterior parts on your car? If so take them off and your stability will greatly improve.

 

+1

came in here to do the same thing...

I'm glad you posted that you'd pushed your boosted Z to that limit...most will not and like there dyno numbers for bragging rights!

you good Sir, get a for that...

but 500+ horse and only 22mpg faster than a stock 07 Z in about the same distance(under 2 miles)...

just going from my experience...I want to see moar!

don't be scared...be safe

 

where is the vid!?!???????? i cant find it on youtube... link anyone? puhlease

 

Well the OP did say he didn't top it off and let off the gas. I would say 190 is possible.

 

Hell, Im hoping to break 200+ with my setup. Just for momentary passes. Hell, I have seen Audi wagons break 210+. Its all about power and driving *****.

 

I don't know what was more retarded and confusing... This statement or trying to understand what the hell the OP was talking about.

 

Well am looking now for 3.3fd swap but my main consearn is fuel delivery at that level 7000+ rpm for say 10 or so sec

Yes, that's just the beging 200mph coming in time but NOT soon with maybe different tires and 3.3fd

 

Vid in u tube write

350z topspeed run 182mph

 

600+hp and 3.3 with some good tires and the right conditions should be 200+ in less than 30 seconds.

 

All this talk about 200mph+ and aerodynamics reminds me of this.

Yah did you see he hit the brakes, the rear wheels locked and he spun at that speed spinning his aerodynamics are worthless. When the air hit the side of the car it lifted it and the car kept rotating.

I have seen 200+ a few times on the street, **** happens quick at that speed. But you really need to have to head on straight. I am used to traveling at these speeds often.

 

Not so, say experienced G35driver members. http://g35driver.com/forums/other-ca...urbo-350z.html

 

I pushed my z to 160 and it was pretty stable, of course i was 1 inch of the ground and i have couple suspension mods. I cant wait to see what my twins will do. Of course it doesn't compare to going over 180+ miles.

Props to you OP

 

I hope you have the nerve to pass 180. A lot of people don't. I would do it if I had the means to.

 

Damn, you beat my 173mph video Guessing it was slow to get up there though running that power level to do that.

I'll search for the vid tomorrow, glad you made it home ok. Everybody is an F1 driver online, most start to b!tch out once the needle is way past the the number on the speedo, its a mind fawk.

edit-just saw your video, that was weird your needle seemed to stop shortly after 160mph, mine def didnt.

 

Andrei, I lol'd 200 isn't some magical barrier of speed its just a number and you need power and ability or better aero to reach it.

Lingenfelter's C5 S/C built motor would do 200+ in less than 30 seconds and beyond. Ive had one to 204 without issue and a turbo Hayabusa with a 6'2 rider holding on for life. Stability is merely a function of removing the air from under the car.

That being said tire friction seriously dimishes the effective ability to hold grip at these speeds so don't brake, turn anything but focus 1/4 mile ahead.

The Compressibility of air, also causes situations where the car creates a boundary layer of air over the surfaces without an effective escape causing a dramatic loss in effectiveness in radiators, IC, under hood temp rise. All of these effects are significant but not at 200. Hell at 180-190 Knots (~225 mph) I can open windows on some of our planes and stick my arm out. Try this at 300+ and the effects are exponentially poor.

 

It doesn't take an f1 driver to hit a high speed in a straight line. Hell, most of us wouldn't consider that f1 has so much engineering behind them that their brakes wont reach operating temp unless you are constantly reaching those speeds. Hell the tires wont warm up unless you have enough surface friction from constant speed and braking to get them to stick.

Watch Richard Hammond try to drive an f1 on top gear, hilarity will ensue.

Then watch James May (captain slow) drive a Veyron to 250mph.

Its not rocket science or skill just BALLZ!
