One comes with the other, properly. You are not going to get V8 amounts of torque from the VQ, but you can get a good increase.

I'm guessing, but I think the car would top out at around 178-185MPH before the engine simply can't push the car down the road any faster. It has everything to do with the torque at the highest RPMs, because there's a slow dropoff. As for making the car faster on accelleration - the cheapest method would be to strip the interior and make the car overall lighter. Next to that, a good exhaust and intake. If you want to spend some money, get a Twin Turbo Kit installed, and see about getting the rar diff ratio dropped a bit to take advantage of it. Anyhow, 165MPH (the limiter in the car) isn't fast enough to outrun physics or a police radio, and outside of the Autobahn, I don't know of any place you can legally drive that fast. |

Focus on transmission output torque (the tranny simply works as a torque multiplier; same for the final drive ratio). And always focus on high avg numbers. Peak numbers are for marketing.

I lived in Thailand (Udorn) for nearly 3 years. A long time ago, of course. So much has changed now. I remember the "Bangkok Buses" crusing down a 2-lane highway doing 130-140 KPH.

Has there been any confimation of how fast people who have taken the limiter off have gone? I just want to know because I occasionally get weird looks from people who say "It only does 155mph? I figured it was faster than that."

It can be removed, top speed of the car is unknown currently.

of course with a good amount of downforce applied, at those speeds the Z would probably take off like a 747!

I am hoping next year to make it to the Texas mile and will have my limiter removed. Though getting to 150 in a mile is actually pretty tough.

Holy necro-thread.
Are you sure those numbers aren't with the stock cats replaced instead of cat-back results? I'd be skeptical of those numbers by the looks of the exhaust underneath. |
