Space Cadet Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 160mph M6 Toll Road, think there is possibly another 10mph in there but would take perhaps another 20-30 seconds to achieve it. Felt very stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sales manager Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 160mph M6 Toll Road, think there is possibly another 10mph in there but would take perhaps another 20-30 seconds to achieve it. Felt very stable. 152 on christmas day on a33 between reading and wellington country park, little bit floaty. quickest ever driven was just over 198, in my ex drag racing 7.5 litre mustang with nitrous. also have a jeep that puts out neer on 400bhp, scarey in a 4x4.

chriswillis Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Sorry to drag this thread up from the past but that is what the search button is for hey Does anyone know what speed the z does if de-limited from 155? Just out of curiosity really and wondered if anyone had done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 350Z Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 150mph on the Autobahn and bottled it. So, nearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I've had 166. I think it had a little more but not much, maybe enought to hit 170. Felt fine, no different than at 100 really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I've heard reports of 175MPH on the speedo, which corrected would be what, 165-170ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5259 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I thought I'd seen somewhere that 168-170 is the theoretical top speed, not sure if that's for an '06 or the later 313s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Working on the gearbox ratios, these are the max speeds in each gear: 1st Gear = 38 mph 2nd Gear = 62 mph 3rd Gear = 89 mph 4th Gear = 114 mph 5th Gear = 145 mph 6th Gear = 184 mph All speeds rounded up/down to nearest mph, and calculated using data from here and calculator from here. Obviously drag and power will come into it at some point, but you can always add more power and to a certain extent effect the drag (although 0.30Cd is pretty good anyway) so your limit is the mechanicals of the gearbox.

rich5259 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 The owner's guide for the 313 has recommended max speeds in 1st, 2nd and 3rd on page 5-8 These are 40mph in 1st, 66mph in 2nd and 95mph in 3rd. remember the 313 will rev to 7500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunZed Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 My clios max is supposedly 110mph. Should be interesting with a max of 155mph/top of 170mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 My clios max is supposedly 110mph. Should be interesting with a max of 155mph/top of 170mph. My old 1.2 clio maxed out at 115MPH (private road of course), the Zed sails past there in the blink of an eye in comparison! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adammitch69 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I've hit 135mph... but that was with the roof down and a passenger To be fair i'd have thought it would hit 160, you see shitter cars than ours on Top Gear with supposedly factory 155 limits and they sail past it on the runway.
