Default WORLD RECORD 956 MPH in a 928
It's official. I've already called the local sticker shop.




EDIT: In the interest of full disclosure, my car is not stock and I had a pretty good tail wind.

You didn't acquire this speed on a public road did you?

BTW. 3 more MPH and you could have done 959 in a 928. That would've made for a cooler sticker.

Obviously you couldn't do that in a stock 928. You probably installed a K&N filter in yours to get those results.

Speed doesn't kill it's the sudden stop that does

Yeah, but a 956 is faster than a 959

You should edit out where it says 'Garmin' and make it say 'ACME'. Meep Meep.

Just like falling off a cliff doesn't kill you, it's the ground.

Wow...Fabio,

You've beaten my record by almost 400MPH! Before it burned, I once shipped the car to Hawaii in the cargo hold of a DC10 and I was told it reached 570MPH.
