what is the fastest you have had your Z too?

Boostcrazy · 11-17-2009, 06:52 PM

I dont know about the 370Z. But I went 188 mph in my 450z and my Flux capacitor kicked in. What year is this?

Had my 370 to about 105 in a short burst on my back road. I was cleaning out my garage tonite and found an old issue of Road & Track. Here is something you "youngsters" my find interesting in just how far car performance has come since 1978. here are some 0-60 times for "sports cars" back then.
Austin Martin V-8 7.4, Bmw 733i 8.6, Datsun 380z 9.4, Ferrari 308GTB 9.4, FERRARI 512 Berlinetta Boxter 5.2, Mustang V-8 10.4, LAMBORGHINI COUNTATCH 6.8, Loutus Esprit 9.2, Trans Am 8.4, PORSCHE TURBO 5.0, WOW those were the days ! Lol.

LOL, reminds me of the time years ago in my RX-3 when I passed a CT statie at an indicated 125 on I-95 at 1:30 am. I was the only car on the road for as far as the eye could see. I figured what the hell and put pedal to the metal, saw him just starting to get onto the highway when I was already getting off at the next exit, blew through 2 green lights, made a quick left and never saw him again

I've done 150 in my rsx type-s, and 90 in a 370z(test drive), I'll be picking one up in march, can't wait

BennytheBlade · 11-28-2009, 08:42 AM

132. Just passed break in.

BennytheBlade · 12-11-2010, 05:26 PM

152. Gps verified. Speedo appears pretty accurate.

ImportConvert · 12-11-2010, 06:34 PM

Around 110 or so. Wasn't mine, though.

I've done irresponsible things from time to time in the past, and I can pretty much guarantee that I will do irresponsible things in the future as well. Why? Because I'm human, and like all humans, I can be an a$$ every once in a while and do things that are selfish and show a lack of good judgment. So I admit it -- like everyone else on the planet, I can behave irresponsibly every now and then. But that's not an apology. If anything, it's just an admission that I'm human and I'm flawed and imperfect like everyone else.

Now, having said all that, let's be honest with ourselves about driving fast. Presumably, most if not all of us on this forum like to drive fast, at least on occasion. That's why we're owners and fans of the Z. I have nothing against driving fast, obviously, but we need to be honest enough to acknowledge that when we put the foot to the floor on public roads, we're not just making the choice to increase our own risk, we're also increasing the risk of those around us -- and we're not giving them a vote on the issue. It would be delusional to believe that we're only increasing our own risk and not anyone else's. To be clear, I'm not trying to suggest that we should all repent and change our ways and vow to never speed again. Heck, that's certainly not a vow that I'm willing to make. I'm just saying that Earwicker is right when he reminds us that it's not all about us. We're not the only ones on the road. So when we make the choice to have a little fun and drive at speeds that are well in excess of those around us, we do need to be mindful that we are putting others at risk in addition to ourselves. In the end, it's about balance. We should strive to balance our need for speed with the rights of other motorists to drive in peace as best possible.

And that's just an opinion, not an apology.

+1

That is why I only play when there are no-other cars that I could be passing and no way for a car to get into the area (i.e. long bridges, open highway with no side-roads that have cleared shoulders, etc.). That way--it IS only you that is at risk, unless someone is racing you, and that implies that they are okay with the additional risk as well.

I made it to a little over 125 on the highway at 5 am. I was using my paddle shifters and had it at 6.
