That speed makes sense... My Trans Am was a limited to about 175-180 by drag and it had a lot more power than this.
My Trans Am was limited to @168mph via drag. It was a 2001 WS6 6-speed and those test numbers are from several sources as well as a very accurate electronic calculator that takes rolling and drag C/O and powerband into consideration backing them up almost spot-on.

It was a 2001 WS6.

The powerband and gearing of the 370Z along with the slipprier C/O should allow a very similar top speed.
