How fast have you taken your STOCK Z?

Lacoste · 10-13-2010, 04:26 AM

So Im sure this thread has been out, but not for a Stock Z necessarily and an updated thread would be great so I post a new one here!!!

So only with stock suspension I would like to hear about how fast have you taken your Z. Today I taken my Z to 120mph on a regulated highway and it felt like i was doing 80mph. Its pretty amazing how the stock suspension handled so well at high speeds. It handled anything I threw at it at 120mph, which included some cornering, wet roads (with VDC on), and straight a ways.
I drove my friends 2011 Mustang V6, at 120mph, I felt pretty unsafe due to the stock suspension because it felt soo loose and any little turn of the wheel was a battle to keep it straight compared to the Z. Although this is just IMO, I would like to hear your stories!!!!

Disclaimer: For the safety of other drivers, I do not recommend taking your car above the posted speed limit. Limit yourself to track or regulated highways that are not for public roads. Thank you.

145-150 Not quite sure. Never again tho. lol

110, test drive. I was test-driving it on X-box, though. I had the speakers turned up all the way listening for wind-noise and didn't hear much. Also, the controller didn't vibrate much, indicating that on the X-box at least, the car rides very smooth/stable at that speed.

flat-out on German Autobahn

265km/h / 165mph on the speedometer, should be 155mph real speed (speed limiter).

feels good, you should try

The new V6 Stang tops out at like 113 I think LMFAO... I had my Z up to 145 so far. Felt like I was doing 70.

We'll see after an upcoming track day with some looooong straights.

Dan Z Man · 10-13-2010, 09:22 AM

about 2 weeks ago i took it up to 150.... i have done 165 in my eagle talon, and it felt 'okay'..and it had some heavy suspension work.

i did just about 140(i stopped at like 139 lol) in my s2000, and that felt 'okay' as well i guess, about the same as the talon, but the s2k was stock.

now, i hit 150 in the z......jesus! it felt like i was legitimately going 80 mph, i even talked about it to my car buds as to how unbelievably stable it felt..it felt unreal, but i enjoyed it.

also, yes i know, take it to a track blah blah blah, but i live in north carolina, and i live not that far away from a very very large, and not really vacant road, so yeah, i wasn't endangering anyones life but my own when i did it

130-ish on the track (MotorSport Ranch, Cresson, TX - CCW from Big Bend to Rattlesnake)

140-ish on the Hwy, showing a friend the shift light, wasn't in 3rd

Dan Z Man · 10-13-2010, 09:45 AM

antman22 · 10-13-2010, 09:47 AM

I have driven the posted speed limits mandated by city ordinances

I got it up to 140mph before letting off. Felt pretty nice, but going 70 felt like driving through a school zone after that.
