Keep that roof line like in your Avatar and you wll get into triple digits easily.

Ive were going to "chop" a 928, that would be the picture Id give the body shop. I love it.

with 700 HP you should get close to 200 mph. would be my guess.

Sterling you don't drive that car that fast do you? It is a beautiful car.

You must have 600 or more Horse under the hood already don't you? and what dose it top out at?

At 190 mph it may take another 100 ponies to get to 200 would be my guess.

You can ask the guys that belong to the 200 mph club. Of course there cars are much lighter and not in street trim.

It would really suck to crash your car. Its a sweet machine.

We are talking about Sterlings car, with Sterling driving.

Sterling, 7k RPM in 2nd gear will net you 87 mph. If you shift to 3rd, you might hit 100 if you don't look sideways and see how fast the terrain is moving.

Sorry Guys, Sean. I wish I knew y all so I could join in on the fun.

I take it Sterling has a hard time breaking the speed limit, or it seems the way y all tease him.

Oh yes, just giving him a hard time. Sterling has done an amazing job on his car, and is never 'finished' with it. Actually, most of us are just plain envious of what he has done.

I'm surprised my phone has not rang with him calling just to give me crap.

I thought it would be easier for him to mail the crap to you Sean, with how long it took to swap that thar tranny out.....
