125 in the 944. The car would have had some oomph left in it but it started shaking some. I think the tires need a balancing.

I went 156 (maxed out 5th) in my old boss's colt. Car had plenty of power, only got stopped by the gearing (7800rpm). It was nice and comfy up to that speed, little wind noise. It was more scary trying to slow it down (stock brakes. dinky 10.2 inch rotors and single calipers. DOT3 fluid..not happening). I mustve coasted for like...4 miles at triple digit speeds waiting for the car to slow down where I could use the brakes effectively.

Big turbos just never seem to have an end to the power
