Best response - thanks for the laugh.

Did you see the Navi-Moose-Pocket on that car? It's a standard mod on the 160MPH cars.

next time I get pulled over, Im going to try that one. "But officer, it says in my users manual 'To properly break in your new Infiniti, make sure you achieve a speed of 160 MPH at least twice.'"

That is bog stock with original perf pkg tires and rims.
Wow, 156MPH with one hand while looking around the cabin for the camera. That would scare the spit out of me.

It must be pretty stable at those speeds for you to do that. Impressive.

Show us the pics!

We need Autobahns in the US. Stupid 70MHP limits... (Oh, yea, but then we would need drivers who drive right and pass left.)

Either this guy is a moron, or thinks we are...

The car has MOSTLY highway mileages.

As opposed to other 'mileages' I assume.

It's been cruising at average 80miles/hour for commuting from home to work on I-696, which has the BEST road condition in MI.

If its been crusing at 80MPH since '03, that's a lot of miles.

Around 1,500 miles, I hit the top speed(160miles/hour) only twice to get the engine broken in smoothly.

Too bad break-in was already complete, but why quibble with facts when you're MAKING THE SALE! LOL..

Only several times I drove the car on snow, but underbody and the engine bay were washed completely every time.

Only several? Why does that opener cause my hair to hurt?

I am a car designer living in Detroit area. I'm moving to U.K soon since I've got a new assignment in the U.K studio . Being a car designer, I can't even easily describe how much affection I have had to this beautiflully designed car.

Let's hope his efforts have nothing to do with the written word. Can you imagine if this guy wrote your owners manual? Can't even easily describe? Who the FOCK speaks that way? Can't even desribe - yes. Can't easily describe - yes. Can't even, easily describe? SOMEONE PLEASE SHOOT ME.

These are the list of my efforts to keep the car PERFECT.

Recentley new brake pads have been replaced

Why would you replace new brake pads?

and the car was maintained perfectly at a local infiniti dealer.(including synthetic oil)
Only synthetic oil(Mobile one) has been used.

Did he drain the factory oil before he took delivery?

Always parked away from trucks, No dings and dents besides a few stone cheap on the front bumper.(but this is the strong proof of highway mileage)

What's the value difference between regular highway damage and the one he describes (cheap)? How is this 'strong proof' of anything other than he does well just to get letters resembling words on paper?

Never wasted for street race or drift

Does he mean HE was never wasted or that the car was never wasted? Can't quite decypher...

Etc.......

I guess this means we're supposed to make up the rest of the points on how he kept his car PERFECT ourselves.. I tried, I can't think of a thing to add.

WTF? On assignment to the UK? HEY BUDDY - THEY SPEAK ENGLISH OVER THERE TOO - TAKE A CLASS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Oh jeez...

Anyway, I always wondered what the top speed was for this car. So far, I only managed to get it up to 125 MPH (not a lot of long stretchs of road by me... that are free of the police...).

if i recall correctly in 5th gear i hit 130 right before the redline, and in 6th i stopped at 140, so it should get close to 160.
