I've had my car at 200 - 210kph or so a few times before, but I've never managed to go quicker (due to the lack of oportunity). Well, after a year with the car the time/place/safty seemed to be just about right and I streched its legs a bit. I pushed it all the way to 230kph and I must say that I was impressed at the rate of acceleration from 200 to 230kph. Most cars start looking a lot of their accelerative power at those speeds (S2000 is just one example). Though, the 350Z climed up to 230kph pretty quicky and felt like it still had plenty to go. It did not seem like 250kph would be unreasonable speed to achieve ... that is if you have long and safe enoguh stretch of road.
Last time I was impressed with the acceleration at aroun 200kph was when I drove the 911s (996). Those really felt quick from 100kph onwards and just kept on pushing even at 200kph. Not that the 350Z would be that quick, but I was still impressed.
I would love to go to one of those air-port runways and see where the car tops out. I wonder if they do anything like that here (ie. Avalon) as they have events like that in the UK?
