Well the maximum posted speed limit I've encountered in CA is 65 MPH so why the heck would I be a rebel and go past 65 let alone 125. Aaannndddd IBTL

I get up to 120ish on the straights at the track at every lap, so 20~ times?

Car feels pretty good at that speed but could be better.

I've been trying to figure out what "IBTL" stands for throughout this entire thread... Thank goodness for Google. LOL


Oh, I almost forgot... IBTL!

The Great Z is still..... It's the low rent used car buyers with that "I live a quarter mile at a time" attitude killing this forum. I know not every used car purchaser is a poser. Not saying that.... but sadly.... you get a lot of underachiever mentality in that bracket.

Some guys in the $12,000-18,000 price range that chose to buy a Z with 150,000 miles than an FRS with 30,000 miles... They shoulda chose the FRS.

On a small race track in France the 350Z could barely hit 190 km/h.
On the German Autobahn we hit 220-230 a few times.

The 370 hasn't been there yet, but I am almost to say that it will take higher speeds less calm than the 350 did. Shorter wheelbase, less weight and so... we'll see.

But anyway, just going fast is no fun. We need turns.

Wow ... I'm a bit surprised this is still open :icon08:

I've been 140+ mph in the Z several times on the track. Boooooorrrrrrrring. Give me 80 mph at the precipice of grip :driving: on a closed course obviously.

Not everybody is crazy enough to spend close to 50k for a 10 year old design ^.^ I saw a couple Z's with 50k miles under 18k now so I don't think anybody in their right mind would get a FRS instead

idk those little FRS's look fun TBH. With their prius tires you can send it sideways constantly. & if you wreck it... F**k it, its just a FRS.... lol

:rolleyes: I don't have any problems sending my Z sideways constantly, and I don't need Prius tires to do it. And you shouldn't be going sideways if you can't control that $hit without wrecking ;)

Fun little test drive though :icon17:

got to 120 mph twice in this Z.

Scary moment was a water drift / hydroplane induced slide. Wasn't going too fast but hit some grooves with rivers and slid. Was a long tail hang unintentionally. Scary cause fronts also lost traction briefly which initiated the almost wreck.

Wasn't even pushing either which was the scary part.


I have trouble getting it sideways with re11s at street speeds. :tiphat:

I know a lot of the OGs on here are getting upset with the forum being invaded by "Stance Nation" - but I think you will find that while the Changing of the Guard is inevitable, it is also not all bad. I think you are going to see a much bigger portion of the community keeping more of a DIY perspective and we should start seeing some new ideas out there as well.

One little error at that speed, and you're dead. There was even a recent example of a guy dying behind the wheel of his Z, after losing control while street racing in Australia. Sadly, he's not the only one.

If someone wants to go that fast, they need to find a legal and safe venue to do so. I'm sure no family has a desire to be destroyed because some ******* felt he needed to see how fast his car is.
Street racing is wildly different than going 125 on an open smooth highway. I went 125 in my 4 banger 115 hp accord.

My z was 17000 and had 12k miles.

Why is everyone such babies about this? Its a performance car, like you never went over 100 anywhere with it?
