125+ how often?

NorthStyle · 02-13-2017, 02:42 PM

I usually cruise around 120-130 during the summertime when the sun is out, nighttime I slow down a bit to around 100-110.

You can only do that once, after that it rolls 126...127...128, you get the idea. lol

ChaseZ · 02-13-2017, 02:56 PM

125 only exists in Mexico..

Ghostvette · 02-13-2017, 03:13 PM

and the iggy list grows....

AlWakRa · 02-13-2017, 04:27 PM

Here on the other part of earth, cannot reach this speed because of traffic lights and speed traps, but I hit it regularly on track

Spooler · 02-13-2017, 06:44 PM

I drive 2mph in the fast lane.

jchammond · 02-13-2017, 07:08 PM

Not particular an open,truthful thread.....as the "Tripper" is always lurking.
But @ the track;mine come's out of 4th@125 & is good for 175/5th.....w/2 gear's to go.

jaedub · 02-13-2017, 09:46 PM

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

husam2012 · 02-13-2017, 09:51 PM

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.

ChopsZ · 02-14-2017, 12:27 AM

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!

MCDX · 02-14-2017, 05:57 AM

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.

JARblue · 02-14-2017, 06:48 AM

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

I've been 140+ mph in the Z several times on the track. Boooooorrrrrrrring. Give me 80 mph at the precipice of grip

on a closed course obviously.

KMO-II · 02-14-2017, 09:30 AM

got to 120 mph twice in this Z.

SgtGoldy · 02-14-2017, 09:46 AM

IBTL... Surprised Trips isn't swing the hammer like I remember he would lol

AestheticCM1 · 02-14-2017, 09:50 AM

I think I hear a whambulance en route. Echoing the statements of others, I have more fun with the Z accelerating from a low speed to the speed limit quickly, then letting off the throttle. My bimmer lived above 120, but the gas mileage at that speed was disgusting. I even got my winter beater up to 115 once, the 110hp 4 banger sounded like it was going to explode. All of this happened on closed courses in Nigeria; no laws were broken.
