Just curious to know how fast a 993 is in real life...

What is the top speed you have seen on your speed-o-meter?

What is the top speed you have maintained over say 1/2 hour?

I don't think I've ever exceeded 110km/h, officer.

 

I went 85mph once

 

I don't even look at the speedometer when driving - its always oil gauges, mirrors, tach, and fuel. I guess the speedometer is slightly higher priority than the clock.

 

about 15 years ago, going165, for a few minutes or miles, with the top down on a sunny day in Annapolis, Maryland on an open road on US 97, with my dad who when asked, guessed we were going 100.........

 

Slower than your 992 and M3 were, but slightly faster than your 95...

 

This one time I looked at my clock and I was going 1:30.

 

There was a guy from Germany years ago that did a lot of Bahn runs at 140+ for extended periods. He also said he had to rebuild the bottom end.

 

My car has a clock ?

 

My Porsche Carrera did 185. I lost my license, now I don’t drive.

 

Shamelessly lifted from the song, “Life’s Been Good To Me So Far”.

But pretty funny regardless.

 

Welp....while in Mexico........ . . . . . . ......... . .

 

When i have to drive from Hamburg to Munich, i use my 3.2; where possible full throttle (>140mph), otherwise maybe a little less; its a 6-8 hours ride, depending on traffic. I do that all the time, the 3.2 is 37 years old .... no rebuild ... not even in sight ...

Otherwise I agree with mike cap ...

 

Guys it’s a simple question. Absolutely no reason to pan the question IMO. Don’t like it just move on. Geezzz. I’m interested in answers to posts not name calling.
