isn't it illegal for him to drive at this speed?

Unless you are being chased by terrorist space alien rapists, I can see no justification for driving at that speed on a PUBLIC road.

If you want to drive like that, do it on a track. :shakes head:

I am no stranger to that speed, I have done that w/my BMW 740iL, 650 and Twin Turbo 300ZX. They were all stable as a rock. Ironically the 7 felt the best. Has anyone felt a little unsure at that speed w/your 370?

So...what year Z28 and outcome? Mods to both cars (if known)?

The fastest I drove a 370Z to was around 100. Felt great. Of course, I have discovered in other cars that 100, and above about 120, are two totally different things.

They can't Intice u to race like that. It's illegal and that cop should get a ticket for speeding.

I don't know how you guys do it, I am already pooping in my pants going over 100. It's not that I can't handle the speed, I just don't want to get busted. I guess living out west and south don't have as many pigs as we do

Maxed out 155mph on my nismo and it was smooth. All depends on the road condition and wind. The nismo spoiler really adds down force to the rear wheels.

I think the only instability was from shaky hands from nervousness of driving those speeds on public roads. :eekdance:

Thanks for the input.


wise choice. take the knowledge that the 370 looks,drives and handles better
than any mustang. imho.

At that speed, you need to upgrade your doors.

I know what your talking about, I use to always be nervous coming around a bend on the highway when I lived in Connecticut. The only good thing I encountered up there is that they love to sit in the same spots so you learn their hideouts. I definitely come across more cops in my daily drive down south but their usually doing 20mph faster then me. The road I have to take to get to work is a 13 mile straight away that goes between a natural preserve so I open the car up there when I'm wanting that adrenaline rush lol.

I am all for higher speed limit, but some people just need to calm down
