I think you Europeans get a little bit more oomph on your cars than we do in the US. I haven't tested it out or anything, but I think stock my car is limited at 167mph. That car in the vid is going ~180mph.

Don't forget speedo error.....probably 8% high or something at that speed. That would account for quite a bit of difference at top end. That's still rocking fast though!

I dont have my manual handy, what speed does that correlate to?
I think its around 165mph...

During this little trip my friend was side by side with an Audi RS2 which speedo indicated 272 kph (169 mph).
It tells pretty much about the accuracy of 944s speedos ...
There is some more footage of this trip on VHS, but time is needed to put all the interesting scenes into the right format.

Heh, cool. Thought Thom, I don't think it is exactly legal to drive that fast in France..
But of course, silly me, this was done under controlled enviroment on some race track by professional drivers..
Just like me last summer..
Hey, what was the reading in the boost gauge on the fifth gear and "full" rpm's?

To me a taller gear would equate to lower RPM's needed for a high speed. Im not a scientist nor am i a automotive engineer but it makes sense to me.

But anyway, it looked like fun.
Do that same thing with your S2..
