Exotic Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Hang on, if a car is doing 100mph toward you, and you are doing 170mph, shouldn't the impact speed be 270mph?I'll wait for those smart people to reply on this one You're right! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk I think he means if your doing 170mph you are catching a car in front of you doing 100mph at a closing speed of 70mph So the same as hitting a stationary car at motorway speeds. I don't think its quite the same but not going to try it. Yes sorry my bad this is what I meant!

Exotic Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Stuarty did a good run but mine had next to no cars on the road, noticed he passed a lorry etc so its always a risk if they don't keep in lane. Basically I would only do it if the autobahn is pretty much 100% clear. Edited April 29, 2014 by Exotic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotic Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I cant get past 88, everytime I do I go back to 1984! Don't you mean 1985 lol better check that flux capacitor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 TBH if it peaks your interest, just pop over to Germany and try it out, no point in popping down the pub and claiming a speed that you haven't experienced yourself It's all about entry speeds for me not bothered about top ones Ive managed right up the top of 4th round Coppice at Donington, thats got to be 90+ mph on the way in ..........

Impressive! 49mph was my highest that I've consciously recorded, I now have my satnav on and reset the top speed each time so it records the fastest it goes, I just have to make sure not to back off before initiating.

Liking your work, a lot of people clock the speedo and then claim 120mph entries ......... which is more like 70mph wheel speed, the jokers. Im pretty sure I got 3 figures at Mallory a few times but that was in the S13, Id want a lot of space to try it in the Zed as fat cars slide further 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Is the top speed of a 370 faster ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Is the top speed of a 370 faster ? Probably if the limiter is taken off but if not both 155! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah, okay. I believe the correct term is 'Chinny Reckon', accompanied by the appropriate chin-stroking action. My god, ive not heard that expression since I was at school!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotic Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Is the top speed of a 370 faster ? Probably if the limiter is taken off but if not both 155! 370Z would definitely be faster (all things being equal to a 350Z) - more power equals higher top speed (don't even think weight is a major factor here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 But gearing and Cd would. I don't know if it's any worse to be fair, I'd still expect the 370 to have a higher terminal speed, but worth bearing in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuarty Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Stuarty did a good run but mine had next to no cars on the road, noticed he passed a lorry etc so its always a risk if they don't keep in lane. Basically I would only do it if the autobahn is pretty much 100% clear. That video i posted wasn't me, lol. I got it on youtube. I never drive over 56 mph, lol.
