Agreed, they top out at a wimpy 155mph.

The only other thing I know that's that slow is a Volvo T5 powered car.

Umm, I've seen a video of one go straight to the 160... and it was a flat road, not down a hill or anything. I think in the US we have a limiter for 155.

I own a G35 and I can say, Joe knows what he's talkin about, the HP plateaus at like 4K and just slightly rises till the 6200rpm peak hp that is maintained all the way to 7K. Torque peak is 4800rpm 260lb-ft for 2005 models and 270lb-ft for 2003-2004 (not sure of rpm)

ps. I said plateaus, but its not exactly a plateau if its going up... so.. whatever just think of a straight line hehehehe

I heard we don't have limiters...but from what I've read, we're limited to 152mph on a completely stock setup on stock tire size. 152 is pretty fast tho.

I've gunned down a coworker's 350z. He's massively quicker off the line though.

i have beatin alot of new Z's there not that fast stock, but can be really fast when moded but then again any car can be :) and most Z drivers will spin the tires when they lanuch so i usally pull head right away and never look back :ph34r:

We went from a creeping roll, and this girl surprised the hell outta' me, she could drive like a pro. Barking tires thru 3rd impressed me.

Uh, in my G35 thread it was a chick, a VERY good looking chick, esp. the one in the passenger seat. Didn't get to talk to them, they turned off right after we raced.
