The Fixer

On way to Outer Banks w/ Co-Pilot keeping a look way ahead with Binoculars, 142 mph in the Carrera w/o whaletail and very light in the rear, made me nervous.
928S, similar very safe stretch of road 135 approx., very stable by comparison, ran out of road.

I had 1000 rpm left....but no nerve.

All i have to say is George Suennen has big cojones

Fastest in 928-Allegedly 130 but I think that allegedly was speedo error with 18" so I would say 125. Was allegedly too windy on alleged uphill bridge over alleged Robert Moses Causeway...

The 78 normally tops out at about 235 km/h. With the allowed maximum 8% inaccuracy of the speedometer, it would have shown you 254 km/h at that speed.

Wow, 171K and almost out of fuel!
J/K...nice to hear your little friend there under the hood, that was awesome!

Not necessarily the fastest speed I have ever seen in mine, but one of my proudest achievements was a six hour elapsed time from the San Francisco area to my home in the southern San Diego area, with an average speed of 88 mph. This average included one refueling stop along the way. It was after Devek Days, I was tired and ready to be home. The high speed kept my attention on the road and adrenaline level up. This is EXACTLY what these cars were built for.

Bone stock with 150K miles on the odometer at over 5000 ft altitude. Very respectable for a daily driver.

I recollect an indicated 235kph (146mph) and still pulling strongly with some accelerator left. Of course all in a controlled environment :-)

I seem to recall about 242km/h on a quiet stretch of country road, speed was extrapolated from the revs. I was impressed with stability and the speed that I got there, just shuffle up through the box and let it run out in 5th and voila! 242 km no stress

This is as fast as mine will go!

148 before running out of safe unobstructed controlled course pavement

A few years ago on a quiet loooong straight road in central South Africa. Got a bit light at this speed - scary!

The Forgotten On

Middle of the night on the 101 last year I got my bone stock 81 auto to go 140. Mind you there was no traffic and the nearest set of tail lights was 2 miles ahead of me...

Concerning my claim at 260 kph in a 78 Euro, it might have been a little less but I was running a 50/50 mix of high octane leaded fuel and 110 octane aviation gas.

I was legally up to 135 mph on the autobahn in 1987 when a big Mercedes sedan passed me.
