EDIT: In the interest of full disclosure, my car is not stock and I had a pretty good tail wind.
The Garmin Street Pilot is apparently the only unit capable of dealing with the extreme speeds our cars can achieve. When I arrived at SITM this year, mine showed a top speed of 200 mph......thought I had found the wormhole on I-75, then I remembered, I had been driving with Andrew and Brian for quite a while.....

Piffle

Back in the days before digital cameras I did 306.7 knots (Thats about 360 imperial miles per hour) on a 8 ton 38' sailboat. Wasn't selectively availablity wonderful! It was great - we could finish sailing, park the boat drink beer, run out of beer then just look at the GPS chart plotter. Yep we're in the Marina . wait 0.5 sec OK now we're in the pub - cool more beer.

Oh by the way, hi Warren!

It looks like you frequent rennlist again - nice to see you're back.
Do you still feel not obliged to reimburse me for that supercharger I never received?

Regards,
Alexey.

Congrats to you!!! 956mph, very impressive. You broke my record too, but not for long.... Not to be outdone!!!!

I am having my 928 lowered into one of the huge main gun barrels on the U.S.S. Alabama tomarrow, and will surely take back my record. And a few filled oxygen tanks in the rear hatch with blast caps on their valve heads, for an afterburner. Estimated speed: 2,100 feet per second, or 1,467 mph.

I've decided to hire a Chimp to drive, or fly it to it's new speed record. Not that anything would go wrong, because as long as you beleive it won't, your safe.
