Really nice cars, I like them a lot and will probably get one next year.
Definitely don't agree with your top speeds though, I used to hit 130 regularly in my S and managed 147 (indicated). All on private roads of course

I'm confused by the top speed thing too!
I managed 152 indicated with the top down and then woke Sam up in the passenger seat to tell her! (and got a b0ll0cking!)
Sounds like your alignment/suspension set-up needs a check or you need to get to know the car better!?
Still the 350Z is a nice car but still looks like an oversize Street Ka!

I've taken a friend's 350 for a quick spin a couple of times. I do like them.
It would certainly be a contender if I didn't still like the S so much.
As for the fat arse, get one with the Nismo kit fitted - big improvement.

yea I think mine maybe slow - it gets to 125mph easily but then it goes up very slow but I usually give up because i run out of road

Do you have any mods danw? The S2000 should pass 140mph with ease and the creep up from about 145mph onwards.
Literally no slowing all the way upto 140mph providing your in the right gear!!
If your not used to it there can be a tendancy for the car to feel "light" at these kind of speeds
It does sound like you have a bit of a car problem!
I bet there is a power sapper in there somewhere

Can't go over 130 
Top up, I have seen an indicated 159mph, not sure what the gps speed was.
Cool boot in the 350Z
It's terrible, the cross brace stops you putting anything of decent size in it and anything you do put in it is always visible e.g. laptop.
I do agree that it's a great car, but it is heavy and the interior is not up to scratch IMO.
