Default What is the top speed for 08 Nismo 350z?

Hi guys, I got the 08 nismo 350 last August, been wondering ever since, what is the top speed for this baby? I've did a personal best of 169 M/H but I think it should be better..... Anyone else out there passed that line? Was it because of the stupid safty thing that kept me from going faster? I am no sure but I wanted to go near 175 M/H with this. Any tips? Please sure some of your experiences, thanks

Z04, I couldn't have said it any better... OP, your in the wrong place if your looking for a legitimate response, much less anyone to take you seriously for puting others at risk (assuming that your doing this on the streets). Not looking too good for a first post.

Drag limited to 110 because of the nismo wing.

And the nismo rear bumper.

And the nismo front bumper.

88 mph is the fastest I've gone before my flux capacitor kicked in. If you were able to do 169 on the street without time travel you need to take your car back to the dealer and have this checked out. IBTL

Ask hraesvelg, he has a Nismo. Are you doing 169mph on I-5? That is a good place, but don't go over 200mph cuz the CHP will be really annoyed.

Default Google + 2 Mins + Half a Brain =

The Nissan 350Z returns for 2009 largely unchanged from its 2008 form, though now only offered as a convertible. The coupe has been redesigned for '09 as the 370Z, which will spur a redesigned convertible for next year. The sporty roadster is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 producing 306 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque.

Nissan has drawn sharp lines and smoothly rounded curves that echo older Z-cars only a little. Where the Audi TT and Ford Mustang steer toward retro themes, the style of the Nissan 350Z is totally modern.

The interior of the 350Z has been upgraded since its introduction in 2003; the plastics are more lavish, but all the basics remain. Inside the 350Z, Nissan lets the controls do the talking.

The 2009 Nissan 350Z puts power to the ground through a 3.5-liter V-6 and a choice of either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy is a respectable 18/25 mpg with the manual gearbox and 17/23 mpg with the automatic. The 350Z's 0-60 time is about 5.6 seconds for the manual (6.0 seconds for the automatic) and a top speed hovering around the 150-mph mark for both models. Top-class dynamics, blistering speed, and undiluted driving pleasure are standard equipment; the Nissan 350Z has scalpel-sharp steering, a meaty gear change, an amazing exhaust rasp, and big brakes.

These attributes are especially enjoyable with the top down. The 350Z employs a power-operated soft top, and wind buffeting is quite good, but with the top up, the experience is more claustrophobic and visibility is hampered.

Crash ratings from the NHTSA are mostly four stars, save for five stars for passenger side impact. Anti-lock brakes are standard across the line, with front-side and side-curtain airbags.

A navigation system, a choice of satellite radio systems, and an Aerodynamics Package are optional, while 18-inch wheels and tires are standard, as is a speed-sensitive power steering system.
Other Choices:

If you like the 2009 Nissan 350Z, also consider:

* BMW Z4
* Ford Mustang
* Honda S2000

Reason Why:

The BMW Z4 is available as a coupe or roadster with six-cylinder and M-Series power. The Ford Mustang is definitely more common, but it's an obvious choice here with a reasonable price, an available powerful V-8, and rear-wheel drive. Honda's S2000 roadster is also a possibility. The two-seater has a completely different character, with an engine that's rev-happy and quite peaky, but with great build quality.
The Bottom Line:

Amazing V-6 power and rear-drive handling keep the 2009 Nissan 350Z convertible rooted in sportscar basics and fun
