'88 911 targa redline in 5th which is around 150-152 somewhere on I10 in LA with an S2000 behind me but easily keeping up. When I hit redline, I pulled over and let off. It had a front spoiler, but no rear spoiler. It probably also had 90k miles on the struts, although they seemed OK. I definitely noticed the rear end feeling light, but the front felt OK.
'08 Boxster S, indicated 152. (obviously not air-cooled) The GPS in my phone usually puts the speedo 1-2mph optimistic at regular speeds, so maybe 2-3mph at that speed. |

160 and change in a modified 930.
|
275 Km/h in our 930 on german highway. Stopwatch verified.
|
115 mph on both the front and back straights at VIR in my SC. Car would start to get "light" and I would lift.

My SC never had the front spoiler. I went 114 into a head wind once. Super sketchy. The airflow felt wrong.
Funny? I was on a fishing trip to Montana with my son in my 100 series Land Cruiser. I looked down at the speedo and saw 95! |
I'm guessing a little north of 140, traveling northbound on 580, next to Washoe Lake...between Carson City and Reno.
I've also seen 110 in my Cooper S, on 285, outside of Atlanta. |
try 160 with the sunroof open . LOUD.
i wanted to do the road course at charlotte in my late model race car. |
Hum...
189 Ruf BTR 192 Ruf CTR 154 SC 148 69S race car rather not say Audi R8 Plus |
^^^ Heck, in the interest in keeping my car insurance, I'd rather not say.
|
In my 88' it hit 149 a few times.
|
19.8 seconds for a measured mile. Middle on nowhere FM north Texas. Roads there are like the ET highway,

Weren't you driving the white GT3R at Sebring earlier today? Ahem, yes????? I guess this one is not as fast.... I'll give you a ticket for seatbelt since I would have to throw you in jail overnight otherwise...... He was cool. Even said be careful, lots of patrols on 27 including a plane |
Very nice!

Oddly, I felt the exact opposite. I took several trips in my M5 while living in Germany. One, sans family, down towards Swiss border on the A7 near Ulm (down where Abt is headquartered). I recall around 125 mph or a bit north of that. Felt totally comfortable since it was very light traffic and that section of Autobahn was unrestricted. On the flip side, when driving on the 'Ring I was wetting myself. It is scary as all get out and the motorcycles close you down pretty fast. I also didn't want to crack up my car. In my 911E I don't think I ever made it over 80 or 85. Just not as comfortable in that as in other cars. |
