Can an n/a even do this?
I havent been sure if my speedometer is correct.
130mph? Can an N/a do that on flat ground?
If so... whats the highest anyone has gotten their 2.5L n/a up to?
Thanks!

For the '87 model series, the manual states..
8v 944 - 136mph
944S - 142mph
944 Turbo - 152mph
944 Automatic - 134mph
Speeding is bad, but i can tell you after 125mph it takes a long time to go any higher...

We had a little NorCal/SoCal get-together three weekends ago in which my 944 hit 130mph fairly easily. The limiting factor was my transmission (short 5th gear). Other n/a's where getting close to 140mph. Yes, we were being immature.....
BTW, the "other n/a's" were all 968's and my 944 is powered by a 968 motor....

Hey Canuck.
Car should go in the shop this weekend.
Was out getting it running, the electical gremlins have eaten their fill. Had to get a new battery and some gasoline stabilizer. Running okay.
Even had to use it to jump the Exploder when I left the radio on too long.

joseph. my car was the opposite. when i had the tall5th gear tranny i could never make it over 120 even going on downhill portions of road. now the car soars past it and even pulls past 140. im pretty sure given time the needle would hit 150.

ive rarely hit 120 in my car- since there is no room around here to speed that much- but on the track last weekend it hit 120 consistently every run. IM sure it would do 130, just would take alot longer. Ahhh, memories of my supra that would do 130 between stoplights(ok not really but close).
