what is the fastest you have had your Z too?

bradz · 10-16-2009, 06:55 PM

I have reached 100mph. I will never go more than that. I already have a fobia. Got accident way back from the PI.

shabarivas · 10-16-2009, 07:24 PM

I have hit about 135 with the Z - seemed like it had plenty more to go ... but never topped her off

90. After getting my license suspended years ago for reckless driving (20+ mph) im in no hurry to find out how fast it can go.

JvKintheUSA · 10-16-2009, 07:53 PM

130+ (mph)

Pointman · 10-16-2009, 07:57 PM

Passed a F-18 while getting 21mpg.

I do 80-85 every day in an MX-5 (reverse commute against prevailing flow) just to keep up. I can vouch for aerodynamics trumping weight and wheelbase in the stability at speed department. The little Miata just hunkers down on the road and asks to go faster.

Top indicated speed in the MX5 (closed course, of course) is 128 -- bumpin' redline cutoff. The little roadster felt light, but stable. No shake or shimmy. No problem. A little more engine and she'd be good for 140-ish. That said, I wouldn't want to wreck at any more than about 40 in this light tin can, however confidence-inspiring she may be.

BTW -- I put my order in on a 2010 370Z Coupe today...if that makes my commentary any more relevant to this conversation.

I experienced the opposite on my test drive. I was doing about 95 and I thought I was doing about 75. Slowed down in a hurry, glancing around frantically for cops............................

145 in my modified Sky Redline

120 on the track (high speed driving class -Pacific Raceways) with my 370Z. Now 142 on the track as of last season
