The G Man Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Ok we know that the 370 is electronically limited to 155mph, apparantly, not having tested this capability. But does anyone know of the true top speed and if so, can you back it up with any solid, attributable evidence? Having a bit of a top trumps discussion with a Focus RS300 owner, which has an apparant top speed is 163, and is not limited, that's it!

Neilp Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 im sure with the standard box on the 350z if you have enough power its good for 200mph, plenty of vids at 175 etc i reckon standard you struggle to push 170 in the 370z due to wind resistance etc... it takes a while to reach 155mph with standard power, once you go by 140 i reckon theres a massive drop in the rate of increase of speed.

Zugara Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 It must be somewhere round 170 mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 damn thats for the 350z, but a good guidline... that would take forever to reach in the 350z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Mibees Done Knockers a few times in my Rex Got a "Help for Heroes" track day at RAF Valley in Wales next year and the 370 is up against the RS, both on the circuit and the main runway, fastest speed on the main runway to be ajudicated by the RAF Police with their radar guns . There may be a thread going up for this, depends on the take up and, no I can't get you invites to Wills and Kate's wedding . I don't think it'll be a problem on either the circuit or the "drag race" to beat it as I know the RS drivers capability and mine but I don't know at the mo whether we'll run out of runway before I hit 155 and can safely brake, or he can hit his reputed 163, doubt any of us will get very close. What I do know is, he's doin' my fechin head in with his shopping trolley stats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 i had a go with and rs on a dual carriage way near me, and i wasnt impressed by it at all, the 370 will definately have no problem beating it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Vicky, no probs Lot's of practice is good Oh and the M90 Neil, would that be Hamilton Rd duel carriagway?

Vik54 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 According to the oracle that is EVO: RS = 300bhp@6500rpm & 324lbs @ 2300rpm & top speed 163 & 0-60 in 5.9 (he's going to spend all his time changing gear) 370 = 326bhp @ 7000rpm & 269lbs @ 5200rpm & top speed 155 & 0-60 5.4 you can drag the arse off him - just set the synchro rev up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Yup, looking at the thread with the Stillen mods and dyno results is interesting. Ideally I'll have something done by then but I don't think that it will be imperative to give him a good thrashing Has no one had the electronic limiter removed then? Or has Nissan made this an expensive and prohibitive process? The links above to the Merkin site is all 350 related but still makes interesting, although complicated reading, for me anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ste01 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 check out the video on you tube from Korea as they have un-limited roads like Germany shows the Z doing 276kph (171mph) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this space Although where I will do a VMAX run I have no idea From what I've seen posted, and from similar cars, I think the 370z would hit around 170MPH unrestricted. The 350z climbs quite happily and strongly to 145MPH before starting to run out of puff, so expect it would go a fair bit further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste01 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 while in Germany earlier this year did get a chance to open the car up on a unrestricted section of the autobahn, can confirm the car keeps pulling hard, hit speeds you mention with no probs (speedo was reading approx 2mph less than the tom tom's that I had) car still had plenty more to give, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ste01 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 used the 6 (E50) out of Kaiserslautern towards Mannheim, great driving roads out there even the L roads (B roads ) are great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neodc Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Although the book says 155 limited, my dials said 160, going up a pretty steep hill it managed it no prob, 2011 gt spec, running 99ron. At that speed hit the limiter at 6200rpm, so another 1500rpm to go if unlocked. Would say it could hit the end of the box before runs out of power?

geoff-r Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 It definitely climbs to 155 easily, makes me want to go blast off to Germany for the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpkayeuk Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I took mine (2010 370z Black Edition) over to the Nurburgring with the Team Falken UK drift team, determined to VMAX it on the autobahn. Did manage it. Appears it is limited to 165MPH (indicated, not sure of true speed). It was still pulling before it hit the limiter but it didn't feel like there was a lot more left. I also had Team Falken's Alan Green in the car and a boot stuffed full of camera and video equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
