161 on the southern california autobahn in the 968.....
166 on another southern california autobahn in the 993.....
love the gps speedo, but the 993 dosent feel as stable as the water cooled car at high speeds, must be all the weight on the back wheels

The driver offered to pull over at the side of the motorway and help her over the fence, to be met with screams of 'Drive, just DRIVE .. put your bloody foot down, what is the point of owning an f***in Porsche if you cant drive it fast when you need to!!' - not being able to offer a suitable argument the perp hammered it home at great speed .. they made it safe and dry.
Speed when you need it - Great

no but I've driven 162mph before in Montana back when they didn't have a speed limit
...granted I only saw 162 for about 30 seconds and then went back down to 159 and the average speed was more like 145 for an hour.. BTW: when going over 140mph, your gas gauge goes down super fast
