How fast have you taken your STOCK Z?
 

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.

Oh OH!!!! 120MPH!!! haha... ugh.

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.

:icon18:

flat-out on German Autobahn :D

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

feels good, you should try :happydance:

It was a pretty cool game. Even came complete with an un-marked police Charger. They really strove for reality.

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.

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 :)

'not vacant' would mean 'occupied'

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 :ugh2:

lol! my bad, okay well you know what i meant :)

I have driven the posted speed limits mandated by city ordinances :D

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