Top speed??
 
Anyone know what the governor is set to for a 2009 370z touring with a sports package. My car is stock besides G3's I hit 160mph gauge was covering 160 for you skeptics saying are you sure.

1) Only GPS speed readings mean anything, the faster you go the more inaccurate the speedo is.

2) I'm not sure if the car does more than 112km/h. The max speed limit here is 110km/h but once I went over by two by mistake.

The limiter on mine is 155

The speed limiter is not based on speedometer needle position, it is based on the reading from the (very accurate) rear axle speed sensors. The only variable is tire rolling diameter. If the rear tire diameter is correct, regardless of speedometer needle indication, the speed limiter will engage at the proper preset speed with very little error.

What that speed is? Somewhere between 155-160. My speedometer needle indicated about 158 or 159mph when the car would stop accelerating (back when I still had the speed limiter active). I cant remember what the original setting in the ECU was before I changed it.

When I had my uprev tune done. RT Tuning reset it from 155 to 199. That's what Vince told me.

155 does sound right to me. That would mean my needle was off by 3-4mph at that speed.

Which is 250kph ................

I hit 162 and then backed off on my 2014 (speedo reading)
