You didn't say what size tires you have... for 275/40/17's 5300 RPM's in 6th with a 4.11 is ~197 mph... which you weren't doing...

I got 199 based on a 26" tall tire, and a 0.50 6th gear ratio.

i love my ls1 but the 2007 350z is just as quick stock for stock. Its so funny to see the reaction of people when a 3.5 l v6 is just as quick as there small block 5.7 LV8
