140 with my SC on the Ohio Turnpike. Came back with a GPS and 140 was 123.

drove 160 mph most of the way to the Museum in Stuttgart, got there before all the others.
The little 2.7 didn't miss a beat

Imagine how fast it would go if it was a real RS.

I don't know the speed, but I think a 1984 928 would do about 170 and that looked about right.
Reminds me of something I saw back in the 90's.

Standing right here one late night about 3am:

https://www.google.com/maps/@42.0015138,-87.8444199,3a,75y,187.93h,81.43t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s3by2KZybrXslQqa99GeFtw!2e0!7i1 6384!8i8192

We heard a noise coming from the south east. It was a 928 with no lights on going minimum 100 mph. It was a sight to see, and hear.

Maybe no deer, skunks, racoons or bear in Luxemburg?

I set the cruse at 110 on 95 many years ago when I was young and dumb!
