5hrs, 90-120 when traffic let us.
I don't know how race car drivers get out after several hours of 150+ then drive 60.
I am still trying to SLOW DOWN.

This reminded me of a story.
When I had my 3.6 911 I would have to sometimes drive from NC to Florida and back due to my business.
We would stay at our house in the NC Mountains as much as possible duty would call and every 2 weeks I needed to be in my office for a couple of days.
I would typically fly back. This one time I decided to drive the 911 back and forth.
The drive, according to my GPS, was supposed to take 12 hours.
I did it in 8.5 hours.
Average speed on the trip was 80 MPH with gas stops.
Here is the cool part best I could tell my 911 had an 18 gallon tank, when cruising at 80 MPH I could get about 30 MPG. So I could easily go 400 Miles on a tank of gas in that thing.
My trip was 730 miles one way. One gas stop in 8.5 hours of driving.
I stopped once.
I also peed in the old school Aquafina Water bottles that had the large opening in them. I had a cooler in the car with those bottles and Reb Bulls in it.
The trip back to Florida started at 5 in the morning and I was at my house in Florida by 1:30 on a Thursday afternoon.
Showered and in the office by 2:30.
Spent the day Friday doing what I needed to do then leaving Friday at 4PM to drive back to the mountains. Not pushing my luck taking it easy and getting in by 2 int he morning.
Weekend in the mountains. Nothing better.
Love WNC best place in the world.
