Pu-leeeeze!

Why on earth would you advertize that you drove that speed? And I don't think the G35 could do 160 off the side of a cliff.

Ready to hear your stories about how you did 175 on Santa Monica Blvd racing an M3 on a Friday night...

Err unless he got the governor removed, no way he hit that high with the car limited to, I believe, 140mph.

rim size increases by 2 whole inches after you get your car to 160 lol

no, they are normal rims for the G. i can see why you think they look bigger from the first picture given. if you check out some of the other pics they look like the standard size

if the governor is at 154, then he could've seen 160mph on his speedo. At those speeds it's known that the speedo is widely inaccurate.

I've hit 156 for about 5 miles. It was early in the morning coming from Heidelberg to karlsruhe on Autobahn A5. I've got pics. How? Why just reached over, turned on the camera and held it up to to take a pic while with the other hand, I just cruuiiseed along. It wouldn't go any faster. That is bog stock with original perf pkg tires and rims.

He's clearly lowered the car and has too-low profile tires on it to fool the eye into thinking those 17's are really 19's...or else it's a heck of a photoshop...because those 17's have NEVER looked that big.....
