I got to go on a runway the other day and decided to give it the beans to see what I could get it up to and hit 130 relativly easy.

But the problem is once I got up there the wind noise was obserd and I started to get nervous. So I pulled over after the run and found that the right fender where the front bumper by the headlight meets the wheel well had popped out!

I just snapped it back in but I guess the wind must have circled around the front passangers wheel well and the force was so great it popped it out.

Has anyone who has taken a top speed run at a track or dragstrip noticed this at all?

 

too much downforce applied by the bodykit probably

 

I have a Stock 06 350 Z at 140 mph my car was rattling like a ****.

 

I've had my stock 08 up too 142mph and it felt ike I was doing 80mph.

 

+1.

 

Are you refering to the inner fender, or where the front bumper comes in contact with the fender? I've had my nismo up to around 140 and I didnt have any problems.

 

 

Wtf? Driving at 140+ does not feel like you are going 80...

 

nope only your nismo does that

lulz.

 

I've been @ 130 and besides the noise and wind it feels deceptively calm.

 

That would explain the rattle/noise if something had popped out. When you're going at high speeds, anything that gives the car an asymmetric flow will affect noticeable stability.

 

It does to me...

My 03 feels incredibly smooth when I am going that fast.

 

My '05 doesn't rattle till it hits around 200...

 

Buahahahahaa!!!!!!

 

I get a pretty good jolt when I drop back down below 240..........I think its the front tires settling back down on the ground again.

 

I'm inclined to agree.

 

I did 150 and it felt stable, but it did start to whistle above 130.

 

my 03 touring at 142mph and it felt like 90mph. Smooth.

 

I did 150mph the other night, the car felt stable a lil wind noise but felt great to know that the car does 150mph does anyone knows whats the max speed on the z's?

 

^I believe I heard somewhere its limited to 155.

I think mine started to rattle because my right wheel well and body kit are not completely flush with eachother since I hit a cone in an auto cross a year ago

Guess Ill just have to keep it under 100.
