What was the fastest you guys driven?

ssqpolo · 04-21-2009, 11:35 PM

180 in a de tomaso pantera. blew a head gasket

KillerBee370 · 04-21-2009, 11:41 PM

143 in my wifes Boxster.
145 in my Evo IX.

Only 120 in my 370 but that'll all change come October because I plan on running the Texas Mile. Now that I have been tuned with mods and no speed limiter, it should be interesting. I am shooting for 170.

140 mph in my Saturn Sky RL

Felt stable.

Z is unchartered territory so far......track time is coming.

o0javi0o · 04-22-2009, 12:27 AM

147mph. stock 07' 350z... since that day, 3 or 4 times 95-105.

kgreen · 04-22-2009, 12:33 AM

155mph in my mazdaspeed3. governed

Frick@DDM · 04-22-2009, 01:52 AM

ssqpolo · 04-22-2009, 01:59 AM

E55s are beastssssss. i was in a friends and u can go 140 feeling like ur just on a normal highway cruise

xDIEGOx · 04-22-2009, 02:18 AM

150 in my Z when I had it. I know the pic reads 146 but the cam took the pic slightly early.

DinoJ · 04-22-2009, 08:16 AM

Wow im surprised no ones done this...

I took my 370 to 163 ish. Felt very smooth i wasnt at all scared and it would have kept going but i decided to keep my life.

molamann · 04-22-2009, 08:28 AM

Hmm I thought all cars have limited top speed... or did you guys all override it?

Anyways, fastest on a car(370Z) was around 120mph whereas 150mph on my ZX-10R.

cg370z · 04-22-2009, 08:33 AM

I thought the 370z was limited to 160mph??? am i wrong?

DinoJ · 04-22-2009, 08:35 AM

maybe, didnt seem like it though, the needle was hovering around 160 and it didnt feel like it was stopping. granted, i wasnt there for very long i kind of hit it and started slowing down. Anyone pushed it further?

Yes, at least two members on this board that I know of, myself included, have verified the 160 speed limit on the stock ECU. Probably others who aren't talking about it too. In my case I hit it on the dyno though, so I wasn't breaking any laws.

Edit: now someone says 155. 155 is also where my dyno charts dropped off, but the tech behind the wheel said 160, so I assumed that was just some data issue:

cg370z · 04-22-2009, 08:38 AM

this makes me want to hit the limiter in my Z and on my Harley now...

ncnickusa · 04-22-2009, 11:28 AM

I guess me and my Z will stay in the slow lane, my Z is to new and I'm getting a little slower. But in reply to top speed for the 370Z, the max speed is electroniclly limited to 155 MPH. I'm not the one to say this is so, but I have read it in several reviews. This is also confirmed by Road & Track in there testing. here is a link: http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/d...370z_chart.pdf
155 MPH MAX
