My idea of a relaxing Sunday morning drive
 
I bought a GoPro Motorsports Hero camera a few weeks ago and didn't get around to really trying it out until this morning, so I went out for an early drive and made the following video. While I was out, I was also able to confirm a certain suspicion I've had about one of the 370Z's official specs . . . ;)

Nice Vid man!http://animepisodes.info/images/471c...d747d77931.jpg

Nice camera. From your video, although one assumes the myth is untrue in a positive way, it could also be untrue in a negative way as well. No telling if your Z's top speed is north or south of the spec. So just what number did you hit?

You mean asking 'Ever wonder what 160 mph looks like from the windshield of a 370Z?' wasn't enough of a hint? I don't want to spell out that I hit xyz speed and have my own video become evidence. We're talking about speeds that are in felony territory, after all.

What lovely long, straight roads.

TBH - it looks very similar to ******mph in my car. Videos don't usually convey the true sense & feeling of the moment, do they?

Nope, they certainly do not. Especially not when the camera has a wide-angle lens.

Did your oil temps go up from being at WOT for so long. Do you think you need an oil cooler or did the wind at those speeds keep the engine cool enough.

That was fantastic!

Nice Vid!

Calculate the distance of those white lines divided by the time it takes to pass one. (Use the hood as a reference as to when the line passes by the car) If one simply considers how fast those white lines are going by I'd say yoou were definitely in felony territory 8 )

Be safe out there.

Yeah I was keeping an eye on the oil temp with all the discussion on the issue. It went up to about 240, but that's it. On a side note, I burned through a quarter tank of gas in just 50 miles.

What was the highest RPM the car reached when in highest gear on this "simulation"?

Minicobra1 04-06-2009 03:58 AM

Save those kind of speeds for the track, or at least wait till there is no traffic at all, I'm just glad knowone decided to change lanes :eekdance:
Not trying to preach, just be safe :tup:
