I'm just asking becasue I had a great experience today...
Well, on my way down on 280 today (from San Jose to San Francsico) A black Audi A6 4.2 comes along to see what my car was about, he signs and we go for it... I got totally run over in the acceleration to about 130 Mph or so, but I was catching up and i passed him when my speedo showed 165 Mph or very close to 170. I was shocked to say the least, is this possible for my car? I'm asking because I might have to have my speedo re calibrated...
My car:
20k mile 2.7 liter engine, with some updates, no mods.
I have shaved the body from alot of weight though (No spare tire, no tools, fiberglass body, fenders flares, bumpers, wing and decklid)... and more is to happen in a few days. (deleting the AC unit approx 230-250 lbs more to save)
Is the 911s this fast? It really felt like 170! I have reached speeds up to 200 Mph in a Alpina B10 Biturbo before. Driven many fast cars, bikes etc. and had alot of "speed" experience. I guess I just never thought it would be that fast.... and I think I still had a few RPM's to give still.
so I wonder, what you guys have to say?
