Terminal speed before going for the brakes for T1 over 233kph (thats 145mph) at the end of the straight at Philip Island GP Circuit - you enter the straight in 5th gear (6MT) at around 5200rpm.

See the vid @ YouTube - Nissan 370Z at Philip Island R2.avi as we play with some 300ZX TT. The first time down the straight is about 1m10s into the vid and ~2mins each lap thereafter - this is the responsioble way to enjoy your Z "at speed" .....

I also have some video to load up of my Sports Race Car which has a terminal speed of 268kph at the same location - this is a 970kg dedicated race car fitted with 400hp aluminium V8, quad throttle bodies, open exhaust system, fat wheels on slick race rubber etc
