Hey anders glad to see you enjoying your purchase.

Anders,
With that speed you do'nt need the bridge - Just adjust your rear spoler and take-off!

 

Anders,
You've GOT to dyno that thing!!!! You've also GOT to contact Porsche AG and find out what they put in it!!

 

Ernest, I'll dyno it as soon as I have my RMB on it. Plan to do a Unichip install then. It'll take a month or two though...

I really don't know if there is anything special about my car but it seems to work just fine for my needs.

Btw, on my 944S2 there was a top speed difference of 4-5 km/h depending on if I had the pop-ups up or down. Anyone who have any numbers for the 928 regarding this?

 

Ernest,
Shhhhhhh - Maybe Anders just had a sweet dream!

 

Erik, what is your problem. Do you have any reason not to believe me?

 

Anders,
I think Erik has speedo envy

 

Exactly, it might very well be that my speedo is waaaaaayyy off...

I'll have to buy myself a GPS to see what the real speed is, or at least take a good look at the speedo.

 

Anders,
Yes, I will see it before I believe it - According to my knowledge, the top speed for that car is 275 Km/h, so only if you had the wind with you and down hill I think that's possible
Or maybe if you have a very positive Speedo as you said yourself (I'm not sure of how accurate the speedo is.)
OK Anders, I hope we can meet on day so you can show the top speed to me. A pity you don't come to the 928Euro meeting (Nuhrburgring) this week!
Anyway, I would like to meet you and see your nice car one day!

 

Erik, in my S2 which is supposed to have a top speed of 240 km/h I had 270 km/h on the speedo (used a pic of it as avatar for a year) and according to the rpm's/tire size that was a true 250-255 km/h speed.

When I drove the GT yesterday it was all flat, no hills what so ever. I've seen a video of a S4 auto doing an indicated 290 km/h. Rehan has just mentioned that he has seen 285 km/h in his S4.

I take the indicated speedo numbers with a grain of salt since they are just that - indicated on the speedo. I once had a Renault Megané that did 186 km/h on a GPS while showing 205 km/h on the speedo.

So I guess that 290km/h on the speedo would be in the same neighbourhood as 275 km/h real speed. Will have to have another go at it again and have a friend with a camera in the passenger seat and a GPS in his lap to figure out what the real speed is.

I hope you guys enjoy it at the 928 meet and I'd love to be there, hopefully next year!

Cheers

 

Thanks Anders,
Good explanation!

 

I can't help it... I'm a top speed collector..

Leaving the office to to head back to Sweden..

 

I advise you to look at the digital speedo next time. It is more accurate.

I have seen 264 km/h with it versus 270 km/h with the analogic speedo at 6.000 rpm.
The redline is at 6775.

The previous owner of my car has seen an indicated 288 km/h with the digital speedo and 300 km/h with the analogic speedo.
This should be at around 6.545 rpm.

Our car should be in the same speed range.
