Well that's it. I was just curious. What is the fastest you have driven in your 964.
I'll start, 135mph. I know that's no big deal but i am too old to go to jail.

Noah, nice. Was that the fastest the car would go or you wanted to go? Does it feel as solid at 161 as it does at 130 or does it tend to get light?

A buck 62 indicated. No idea as to speedo error but it was the fastest I've ever gone. Rock solid but with so much speed and worrying about all that might go wrong, it's kind of hard to focus on the sensation.

I saw a rather optimistic 170mph on the speedo about 6 years ago (not in the UK).

140 mph indicated. Car was solid but there was a lot of wind noise that surprised me. Have since replaced the door seals but not had the opportunity to try it again.

Actually, only as fast as any of the front straights on any of the tracks I've run them on allow--about 125-130. (I got all the top speed running out of my system decades ago with the torsion bar cars.)

+275 km/h, 170 mph on the speedo with some weight off and a cup pipe some years ago. It was on an flat, endless autobahn straight in Germany, no wind and no traffic. I think that is what a speedo should read since the speedo always is some % up and the factory manual says 260 or 265 km/h and Porsche is always a little on the "low" side in their numbers.

Even if the front got a little light I was surprised how stable the car felt at that speed.

260ish kph on the Autobahn with the top down. The car felt very stable and I made my son swear that he wouldn't tell his mom about it...
