I surely saw my car went over 150mph but I couldn't check top speed.
Tomorrow, I'll post how fast it runs (if it doesn't rain.. News says it will rain tomorrow here.. damn.)

Good luck with the speed tests
Sorry I didn't register, mine was secondhand. but I don't think it's so hard cause there are a lot of 350s in Korea.

Default at last..

I did it.

The top speed of is350 is 265km/h with GPS. It's 164.6 mph.
I don't know how fast in speedo meter cause there's no letter over 260km/h but I know it has some error between GPS and Speedometer. Speedometer shows more about 5%. So I think it would show 279km/h (173 mph) if there were letters over 260 km/h.

but I've beaten by S60R Stage3 on 100-250km/h rolling...




of course I beat it on dragrace.
The 1st and 2nd gear of IS350 are really amazing.

I've done 150s on Rx7 2-3am in the morning straight away on a highway with hardly any cars racing another Rx7.... that ish was crazy scary and wouldn't do that again.

I stay around 65-75 on my, I rather ride in style now.

yea I did 154mph in the middle of I-10 in Phoenix at like 2 p.m. on my 350z racing a m3... with traffic... needless to say that was the dumbest thing i have ever done.... Wird thing is, THAT race seemed to get racing out of my system.. from that day on I have started driving like a granny and don't feel like racing anymore... hmmm.

whats the difference between the HKS Vac and the Tom's throttle control ( it also raises the top speed of our car ) ?

VAS just break speed limiter. It doesn't do anything for performance.
Throttle controller is just for changing acceleration pattern. It also doesn't give extra power at all.

You're right. It was really scary.
I realized that IS350 is not designed for high speed running. It's so unstable.
