and sweanders are u serious that it took that much to get those last 5mph, i would have thought a turbo would do a lot better than that.

The fastest 944 N/A I've driven was a friends 1984 and it hit the rev limiter in 5:th, about 250 km/h on the speedo.

I did draft pass a Honda and hit 6000 RPM. That comes to 132 mph.
Now the track is 2.88 miles long I have solid 30 seconds WOT and a full 20 of them flat out in 5th. If I get things just right I MIGHT be able to tag 6400 RPM (140.9) in 5th if I get a really good draft and maybe 5 more hp from a nice cold day. Maybe not. The banking also causes me to lose a little speed too. Even so that is where I reach top speed.
Drafting another car at 130 mph then pulling out pass when you are 6" away is an intersting experience.
