Wow really! So this means that on the street you should be able to reach 180? That is not the stock speedo gauge, but according to that digital readout it is 242 MPH when converted almost 243 MPH as I see 391 for a split second before he comes of the throttle.

Um, why wouldn't it be? Do you realize that the remaining 6 billion normal people (i.e. non americans) use kilometres and not miles? :rolleyes:

The speedometer maxes out at 280 km/h, but the car was still accelerating so he switched camera to his digital readout which continued to increase until 390 km/h before hitting redline in top gear. Of course, that car must have been on a dyno, or even had the back jacked up and the rear wheels unloaded to achieve such a speed. Air resistance would mean the car would never even approach such a speed without a massive upgrade to its engine ala 1001 hp veyron

on the other hand the video may be inaccurate. I did calculations using the auto gear ratios and max speed should be around 365 km/h at redline in 7th

Also, who says the digital was calibrated right?

Lastly, I doubt they had the tires on the car. The accelleration presented with the speedo between gears shows that there is little, if any, weight on the drivetrain.

Haha what percentage of Z's is sold in the US? The normal speedo is MPH!

You don't remember? Learning the metric system is a communist plot.
