03 5AT Top Speed

End of debate.
Its quite futile actually, because no one in this thread is going to have a GPS system with anywhere near the ability that we are talking about anyway...
So again - for the point that this thread began... the speedo is as good of an “indicator” as anything else... for “accuracy”, any one of us can gain access to a laser or radar gun.
Plain and simple. We can stop beating it to death now.

I'm not sure how much more after 140 these cars have in them (mine anyway)... even though I was running out of road - it wasn’t pulling much by the time 140 was reached... I'm sure it had more in it - but sluggish getting there.
I don’t see any practical reason to need anything beyond 146 - even on a road course

HA Ha true that but the G35 sedan is sluggish anyway so unless your on a straight away for at least 15 miles there is no way you will get to that speed

well... i got a new high last friday... 129 headed up 78highway... i just ran into too much traffic (any traffic actually) and had to let off... I also discovered that I have a small vibration up front when over 100...
i had a 04 sedan 5AT and topped it out at 154 on a cool night and the only mod was 12lb racing wheels syn oil and a drop in K&N air filter ,but it would do 140 going up hill in 4th, i totaled it some1 pulled out in front of me but now i have a 04 coupe 6MT and the first night i had it i raced a modded trans am on the interstate and i lost him at 140 and it was still pulling HARD much harder than my sedan ever did hopefully soon ill know what my 6MT tops out at

Coming out of a 45mph tollbooth, i was doin about 50, kicked it into 3rd and floored it. redlined in 3rd, took 4th to 110 then put it pack into d. saw the road was empty and floored it. car pulled all the way to 130 without a problem, it still had more. at night no other cars. backed off at 130 because well 130 in a 65. 3 lane open road at night with highbeams on. car is a beast but 130 is enough for me!
Fastest i've gone in my G35 is 90MPH.
I've driven 150MPH in a car before, but honestly, i couldn't even tell you the last time i went over 100MPH. Just never had the desire. Too many things can go wrong and it's not worth it to me to get busted doing that speed.
I'm getting old
