Fun to read all your messages! It sounds like everybody is completely keeping to the local speed limits. ;-)
Keep them coming. Also from the S4 and GTS guys. It just shows how Porsche kept developing these cars. I am also tempted to go back on a less windy day. I guess that at top speed a 20 km/h headwind can make all the difference.
At 225 km/h I thought it was a little vague at the rear, but at 235 it hunkered down and felt it could safely hold on to that speed. At 235 it felt like it was at the top or at least not really accelerating much any more.
Going at 190 behind a Honda Accord and then turning on the indicator light to signal that we wanted to pass was fun though... I had never done that before. Then full throttle again to blast past. haha.

I have never broken the speed limit. However, on occasion, my speedometer has returned inaccurate readings. Funny how that happens.

Okay, that is 2nd gear. How fast in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear?
