I know a guy who got pulled over on that stretch doing 120mph in a Mazdaspeed3. I wouldn't be too sure.

if you get clocked at that speed, you might as well keep going cause you're screwed if you get pulled over.

There is a stretch of 50 there where you crest a hill and you've got about 1.5-2 miles of fun.

Will the Z only do 155mph top speed?

Wow....no sh*t, the Z is truly a BEAST.

m4a1mustang · 11-08-2011, 07:53 PM

Well, it takes a loooong time to get there (don't ask me how I know), but yeah, it's pretty fast for its power level since it has a fairly low CD (.29 with the sport package).

eastwest2300 · 11-08-2011, 08:03 PM

Wow, man thats pretty sweet. I wanna touch 160mph in my Z..
