How fast have you taken your 370z?

DEpointfive0 · 10-08-2013, 01:17 PM

120mph uphill for about a minute. (On a closed road)
155 on the dyno for about 10 seconds at a time

Wait for the members in Germany to post 155 for 30 minutes

Agreed. I started with legal speed.

DIGItonium · 10-08-2013, 01:25 PM

Speed is scary even on the track. First thing on my mind is fish tailing side ways and out of control from a dig. If I keep that in my mind, then I keep my foot light haha. Instead of the BOV whooshing loudly, it'll be silent (but deadly).

Then I also think about fusing the clutch to the flywheel, breaking transmission, etc. O_o

Hit the top of fourth a couple of times, and immediately backed off. Feels good at that speed, it's just way too fast if you're not on a closed course.

onzedge · 10-08-2013, 01:34 PM

This morning, driving from Novato to Petaluma (up Highway 101), I got her up to 70 mph a couple of times.

SurfDog · 10-08-2013, 01:38 PM

120. High plains raceway! rock steady. Then full ABS right hander trail braking into the twisties. (fun) Its not how fast it goes that makes me smile, its how well it brakes down into the turn that I enjoy!

Typically when I drive the speed is not my goal, but it's definitely too easy to exceed the limit when letting the car rev past 4k in 3rd or 4th to look at boost levels haha. It's also a bit scary flooring it 1st or 2nd. The extra power feels great, but I have to let off quick. It's nice to be able to enjoy some boost at half throttle without going too crazy.

Agreed even for a brief spirited drive or testing boost levels, it's scary as heck esp with small bumps. It's difficult to test in 2nd because there's not enough time to look at the gauges and whatnot while keeping the car straight, but the dyno is definitely the way to go for this stuff.

It'll get up to the rev limeter in 4th very quickly, then you look at the speedo and think "****, I'm going to jail" and throw it into 5th and engine brake back down.

now the limiter is no mas

UpRev removes that, correct?

I won't say how fast, but it's not near as fast as some others. I'm not enticed to hit the 155 limit, as I've already surpassed that in my SRT4 and it was very, very frightening. Though, this car does feel super solid at speed.

I have a goal to drive 200mph+ one day. Not sure when or where (on a track of course), or how much it's going to cost me, but I want to do it at least once.

Yes.

Bonneville, or the Texas Mile if you've got a car that will hit 200 in a standing mile.

I don't have one yet. I don't know anyone that does either (says GTR's top speed is 193, so no go on that one), yet.
