370z Night Driving to 140MPH!!

It seems like it's running out of steam up around 140mph.

I believe it is more so that the driver was inexperienced and was on the lookout for police. And most people when they get near 150 mph do not have what it takes (read balls) to go faster.

I was just judging by the sound. I was originally listening for knocks, but noticed how long it was taking to get to the top of that gear (maybe 4th?) and it was taking a LONG time. The gear before was taking a while too, but that last gear made it sound like the next gear wouldn't make it even close to the top.
