140mph w/the Nismo today....
 
Yeah I know....wasnt the smartest move. A Camaro Z28 tried me so I was compelled. One concern though, the car felt as though it was going to come off the ground I didnt feel stable at all, it seemed kind of jittery. I had to really focus on not losing it!! Needless to say I was a bit scared.
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?

Let the flaming begin!

No need to race against a Z28. Clearly, your Z is a clearly a good 6 numbers higher. Oh, and which track in NC did this occur at?

like i posted, i do 1mph going up my driveway into my garage... this takes skillz

yea i find my 370z is much looser at the high speed.
my audi S5 on the other hand it as easy as can be all the way to the governor

Keep in mind you are dealing with a short-wheelbase car in the 370Z.

@honey badger....that car has 426hp and 450lb/ft of torque...it is no slouch, I take pride in the fact that he could not or didnt know how to pass me, sadly I could not shake him either!!

the squirrely feel of the car at that speed concerned me, I dont really plan on making that speed an everyday occurance though. I was trying to get some insight on other folks experiences with the car at that speed as I am sure I am not the first to venture that side of the speedometer.

40, 440, or 540? also watch out for the black z06 that wake co sheriff baits cars with. a week after getting mine on 540 he flew by me over 100mph only to slow down and get beside me and rev to see if i would take off. glad i watch the news and know whats out there. you should make the carolina nissans movie night tomorrow or cars and coffee next saturday.
