M35 Top Speed

[maqueswell]

Hello All:

Can anyone tell me the actual manufactures top speed for the 2006 M35. Do not get me wrong, i have no plans what so ever on achieving this feat...it's plenty fast at 80pmh..LOL

My wife came home from work the other day, and said she was doing 115 on the toll road... and there was still plenty of room behind the pedal.

I would like to know as well, that way I can prepare for how much the ticket is gonna cost me.

I had my '04 somewhere north of 150 closer to 155. I wasn't really taking the time to concentrate on the speedo I was watching the road a little more.

Thanks guys! When i test drove the car i had her up to 110 and didn't even realize it until i looked down. The dealer was surprised also.

Thank God I got most of the Speed Demon out of my system...heh, heh, heh!

I have had my 2003 M45 up past 120mph and there was plenty of oomph left to go higher. On my 1991 Q45, I have had it up close to 145 to 150mph indicated - see thread on Infiniti Speeding stories! But, now that I have a young son (and it ain't worth getting killed), I am unlikely to go much past 120mph anymore - not at least till he goes off to college on his own.

As a friendly reminder:

1. Never, ever drive a car past 100 to 120mph on any tire that is not in optimal condition.

2. Always set the tire to 5 to 7 extra psi (above normal)- use about 42 to 44psi.

3. Never speed above 100mph on a tire that has had a puncture and now has an internal patch. This automatically derates the speed rating of the tire!

Thanks szhosain:

I know all about speed and tires. I used to race my 88 Honda Hurricane 1000 when i was stationed in Florida. Once a month my friends and I would go to Seabring race track. It was fun...when you're in your 20's..LOL.

You are so right about tires and i am always cautious and inspecting my tires and wheels. There's always a bunch of construction going on here in SA and there are nails and rivets and other junk on the roads.

The Max PSI for the Bridgestone Potenzas PSI is 33lbs. I thought that over filling the tires would cause the center to wear out faster? at $300.00 per tire i'm going to watch out for that.

I rarely go above 80mph anymore, well except for passing and such. I had asked about the top speed because the M35 is soo smooth at high speeds.

For those who commented about the 6 cylinder engine bogging or losing it's oomph above 5 grand rpms there must be something wrong, because my auto pulls all the way to redline.......I likes!

Good DayMad Max
