I'm getting above 130 at the end of the back strait at Sebring.

Believe it or not, rarely over a hundred on the street. On the track, as fast as the track will allow, the soonest possible opportunity

135 on a long straight. This was before I updated my suspension and did the front control arm bushings. It was not very confidence inspiring. I haven't had the car past 110 since the new additions but it felt well planted.

79 in a 75 zone, I-80 in wyoming, within 5 miles of being passed by an 18 wheeler.
we're talking speeding tickets, right?

On the way back to WI from my new to me purchase in TX, I thought I would see what it would do. Went to pass a semi and floored it. I hit 110 so fast, it made my head spin. I've had a few "fast" vehicles in the past, but never had one that was so happy to go into triple digits so quickly. Don't know what the top end is and to be honest, don't care. I'm having too much fun between 40-80 mph.

Ran pretty close to being topped out for a tip transmission, on a stock suspension at the time. Nose felt unnervingly light. Upon further reflection, that was a stupid thing for me to do. Glad my DNA isn't just a red smear on the concrete.

150 mph on the Fontana AAA California Speedway roval. As it was my first weekend on the roval, I did not have the manliness to keep it planted into turn 1 so I entered at 145 mph. Stock aero with KWv3, RS sways and Hoosier R6. Felt ROCK solid.

Out of Munich on the A96, a quick run up to 126 mph, then this all the way to Zurich. So much for the 150 club!

Mine has probably been a hair over 130 on the track. Hoping to hit Road Atlanta or another track with a long straight to see if I can improve on that during 2012!

@Brendan - Road Atlanta will get you ~125-130 max down into 10a, really depends on exit speed out of T7.

168 indicated somewhere in FL

This video is the fastest I've gone while turning the steering wheel. You enter the straight in 3rd and almost redline 5th before going to brakes at the first cone. Took me a while to get the nerve to keep my foot it at the 1:05 mark. The car is aero stock, stable but not completely happy through that turn.

I’m dying to know the lift numbers for a 993 but I can’t find them anywhere on the web. According to Paul Frere a longhood weights 450lbs less at 150mph. Based on that older technology and our mini spoiler I’d guess that we are under that, just curious by how much.

The Lamborghini in this video supposedly 1000hp! So fun to hear that thing fly by (over and over in the same session)

158 according to satnav. 170 was showing on the speedo.

On the autobahn in my 993 C2 a few years ago.

170mph felt easily achievable but I had to ease off as there was a bend about 2 miles away.

I went back to Germany a few months ago but kept it below 130 as I worried about my rear PU peeling off as my rear support have rusted away.
