Interesting posts about hi speed travel / track events so I well chime in
One time on my way to Boise ID. Traveling through eastern Oregon in my 1990 C4 911
I traveled for 1 hour between 130 MPH and 140 MPH and the handling was excellent and smooth.
However I realized that should something all of a sudden be on the road like a deer (unlikely in that area ) I would be hard pressed to avoid it.
So I slowed down to 80 MPH and it now felt like I was barely moving after 130 / 140 MPH
I had to force myself to drive at this slower speed and it was hard but I succeeded .
I might add I had plenty more to go then 130 /140 MPH speed and well mention that the Air Foil was open (911 Rear Foil ) pinning the rear of the car down on the ground ( it really works ) The foil opens after 50 MPH as I remember .
I have not tried the 928 at Hi Speed's ( over 100 MPH ) as of yet however I have drove the car enough to guess that most likely the Hi Speed's over 120 would be tricky beyond straight stretch driving .
