The fastest I have ever been is 180-190 in my brothers 95 supra.
it has a t88 turbo and all that other good stuff,But he was driving.
The fastest I have ever drove is in the 160 range on my (stock)03 yamaha R1.
As for my car maybe somewhere around 125 or so I was not looking at the speedo.

I have been hearing of many Zs getting wrecked recently so be carefull. There aren't many of these cars left. Racing belongs at the track. Although it is nice to shut those kids up with the big *** mufflers and wings on their hondas :burnout:

Damn, what did your friend have in his Mustang? Which Mustang? Was it down hill in a windstorm? The Z32 TT will run and hide from most Mustang's.

Actuallyt kinda funny because his stang used to be a normal six banger piece of isht. Then he decided to throw i believe the GT engine into it which is the 8 cylinder. He did that himself kinda funny to whach. Hes got the entire engine reworked hmmm lets see if i can remember the list??? cams, new heavy duty crank forged pistons and rods bored it out dont remember how much new fuel system new ecu full exhaust headers and all, intake new gears in the rear axle (hes went through like 5 sets already) and he had a blower on it which he sold and is soon to be buying an even larger one for it soon. its got the 5 spoke cobra rims that are all chromed and nice shaved handles fun little button on the key pad that opens the doors a wide body kit a pretty phat little spoiler projector head lights euro tail lights he had the car painted black like 5 times by now ( i dont actually remember what color it used to be) i'm sure theres more but i cant remember. Its a bad a** stang i give him props since he can beat most things out there, but soon enough i'll be smoking him. i'm sure theres more that hes done but i really dont care to much about his car hehe :headspin:

Hahaaha....did you mean, something like this Emo?!



I've gone around 125 on my N/A Z31 with a passenger in it and room left on the tach.....but not much. And since she's gettin' on with age, I don't think I'll ever be doing that again. My Z32 is much quicker, of course......she can easily reach the 140's without much effort, but again, definitely not something I would force her to do anytime soon unless it's on the tracks! I take GOOD care of my baby...

Ah...no no! That's not what the speedometer look like for all Twin-Turbos. In fact, I have no idea where Emo got his....but it's way awesome! That pic was just something cool I saved on my harddrive...

Copper's right, mine goes up to 160. After that, you're just guessing.

Hmmm....I'm thinking it's the JDM dash from Japan. That's why the KPH is in the large font while the MPH is in the small. Am I right?!

But this still doesn't explain Emo's 180MPH speedometer.... :doh:

I'm gonna speak up again here for the people that might not know. And this, because I'm shopping for tires. Keep in mind the speed rating on your tires. You might have a car that'll do 160, but don't go cheap and put lower speed rated tires on your car to save a few bucks and then see how fast your car will go. It could be catastrophic.

Most people don't realize that a lot of cars/trucks have speed limiters on them, from the factory, for a reason. This way they don't have to put the high speed rated tires on them.

M 81 mph 130 km/h
N 87 mph 140 km/h Temporary Spare Tires
P 93 mph 150 km/h
Q 99 mph 160 km/h Studless & Studdable Winter Tires
R 106 mph 170 km/h H.D. Light Truck Tires
S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
T 118 mph 190 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
U 124 mph 200 km/h
H 130 mph 210 km/h Sport Sedans & Coupes
V 149 mph 240 km/h Sport Sedans, Coupes & Sports Cars
W 168 mph 270 km/h Exotic Sports Cars
Y 186 mph 300 km/h Exotic Sports Cars

I've been to 130 so far.
