I've had A 2004 Carrera 4S up over 140 on a dealer test drive once.

The 924S up around 135-140 several times


Driven several single seat winged formula cars before, experiencing 2.5G+ lateral and longitudinal deceleration- there is nothing like that.


Also got to jump in a modified shifter cart in a parking lot once. One of the worst decisions of my life was to, in this parking lot- pull 5h gear. 6th gear went out to about 130. I nearly wrote it off.

That kart could do 0-60mph in about 2.7 seconds and could do 0-100mph-0 (zero to 100 back to 0) in about 8 seconds. That will be the fastest accelerating machine I will every drive unless I get some seat time in a F3000.
