Ian W Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Was down the pub last night discussing the Zed with some mates and was asked what the top speed of the 350 Z would be if unrestricted. Does anybody out there know ? If it makes a difference mine is an 08 plate 309 / 313 BHP model (BHP seems to depend on which article you read).

chriswillis Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I think i read somewhere it is around the 170ish marsk, but you'll need a long road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Mine is a 309 roadster and i can hit 155mph on 5th gear nice and quickly...just before the rev limiter and then its got the 6th as well which is a long gear...i would say 170mph should be realistic on a very very long straight...but its down to aerodynamics as well so in the coupe should be a bit more. speed according to the road angel..

cookiemonster Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 its limited to 150 but with a re map i think abbey quoted 180, but like already said, you would probably need the whole A1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its limited to 155mph m8. Although my digital speedo says 160 and the analogue 162, the road angel says 155. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexZ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I guess it should go stright to 155mph without to much problem or wait? Alexz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris84 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I guess it should go stright to 155mph without to much problem or wait? Alexz I may or may not have strayed to 150mph with ease on the A1 whilst following the bedding in process. I've got a '55' plate coupe, no mods. Got to watch out for those pigs on the A1 & M1.

BladesGrant Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 All you need is an Xbox360, Forza 3 and select test track. Gets 172 before you start losing speed on the corner. Apparently one of the most realistic games in terms of handling and car specifications so that ties in well with the 170/180 stories.

BladesGrant Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I was actually surprised that there wasn't that much difference in terms of top end between the 350 and 370 in the game. It was a little quicker 0 - 60 though. Just wish I could drive as well I do in the game!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
