THE 165 MPH WAS IN THE DESERT ON A VERY LONG STRAIGHT STRETCH
Dave from TRE put together a Solvang Stomp (Mini Gumball Rally) around 7-10 years ago. We were in the middle of the Mojave Desert on a super long straight stretch Mid Morning in perfect weather. There were around 30-50 Porsches some driving modestly others NOT!
I dont think that I would do it again but we (Tony and I) were nearly at 8,200 RPM in 5th (29/21 ratio)..
About 5 years prior on another Solvang Stomp I was in my 427 Cobra racing a Ferrari 365GTB Daytona. We were on the then new and empty Semi Valley Frwy and the speedo showed 175MPH in the Cobra and the guy in the Daytona said his showed over 170MPH.
Is it crazy Probably!
But driving a 930 Turbo at 130-140MPH with a helicoper skid 3 feet above the car or Letting the James Bond Mini Jet (Silver Bullet) flying inverted at 20 feet above the ground close on me in a 930 Turbo at 370MPH (150MPH Turbo -220MPH Jet) is also crazy.. But thats what I get paid the big bucks to do.
