How fast have you guys had your Z's? I hit 140 the other day and then got nervous.

129.... ran out of road while dodging pothole. Haven't driven in the past 4 days from the am,ount of storms we've gotten. Freaking sleeted yesterday.

Probably because you were on a public road?

I've hit 140 mph on the front straight at COTA, and she felt amazing. Very planted

In my defense NM has many deserted public highways. I was the only car on that road that morning. 50 miles between towns in either direction. But still, I started thinking this is "goto jail" speeding so I backed off.

To be honest, I have driven through NM on my way to CO and found it very difficult to not speed. But this was years ago, and we were in an older 626 that could barely hit 100 mph in the first place. My co-driver got pulled over for going 100 in a 65 zone, and the cop was totally understanding (empty, flat highway with zero traffic) and wrote him up for 10 mph over

^^

Texas has it figured out! 80mph speed limits everywhere! I heard there's an 85mph speed limit now. We drove through their a couple years ago heading to New Orleans and I just loved it!

totally agree with that... i feel like going under 60kmh is painful in the Z. cruising on the highway going 120 it feels stable, planted, and even like you're going slow. even when passing someone and faster it felt so stable and didn't notice how fast until i glanced down.

i think once you can see the needle it means you're going at Z-speeds. if you can't see the needle you need to drive faster

Nooooo~~!!

now imaging going 55mph in a GT-R...

another reason why i chose the Z besides the no-MT option.
