RIP. BTW, Alex Roy's book The Driver is very entertaining. A little self absorbed, but still a good read.

Nope, it's about the guy who (as far as anyone knows) holds the NY to LA record in a 200? BMW M5. There's a little bit about the old Cannonball Run and U.S. Express drivers in it, I don't recall anything specifically with 928 content.

Wow! This is COOL! I just completed a cross country run last week (returning from delivering the Holbert 928) from Danbury, CT to Ridgecrest, CA - 2833 miles in 47.75 hours in my 2001 Sierra Crew Cab - but that included 3 hours of sleep and a 2 hour dinner engagement in Oklahoma. It was a blast!! I'd love to go as fast as I could across the country in a 928 - if I wasn't so afraid of going to jail! There's just something exhilerating about going from point A to point B as fast as you can while dealing with refueling, restroom stops, meals, etc.

I would have thought it would have been alot longer than that. I drove from Orlando FL to San Francisco once in a Ryder truck, pulling a car. It took me a week.

Dwayne - wife and I took 3.5days to get to Providence in SATA this past summer. Mandatory motel in the early evening and relaxed morning departures by 10-ish. Many triple-digit sections of open cruising with a good detector to keep the anxiety low.
Wife really enjoyed her time behind the wheel as well, when there's nothing around but open road, good tunes, a perfect navigator
, and a 928...she had some sections that were near continuous >90 for hours, seriously... she also now knows what the top of 3rd gear feels like 
!
Can't stress how much fun it was and how beautiful our great US is to travel coast to coast. You really NEED to do it.
