Default At 180 MPH

Has any of you get a low coolant level light at 180 mph and after the car cools off the level is back to normal? I am just asking for a friend

No, but at 190-195 the voltmeter jumps a little bit.

Jesus man, I would hate to see the look in your kids eyes if something happened to you, or you "friend" who was going that fast.

At 220mph I actually start to hear sirens... Kinda like a continious bipping. Never managed to find out where it come from.

Cool

Not sure about other 928 owners' experiences... but I get an unusual euphoric wave that courses through my body anytime I am going 200+

Low coolant light?

No, but whenever I go above 80 mph there's a shrieking sound from the area of the passenger seat.
