Hi,

my 996.2 GT3 got barely any mods. The drivetrain is completely factory standard. But I am always amazed how fast this 14 years old thing can go. I have owned it for three years now and, next to driving it on the Nürburgring, I actually enjoy driving it on the German Autobahn. I would consider myself an experienced high speed driver. I have driven several cars and many hours very fast in my life, i.e., north of 230kph (143mph). However, the Porsche is the first of my cars that I have not manage to max out yet. I hit 320kph (199mph) twice last Sunday morning but it would have still gone faster if I had continued to push (needless to say this was completely legal)

Enjoy!
Marcus

PS: please spare me any comments about the "check" light - the left cat is broken and will be replaced soon

 

Was that 320 kph with the cruise on?

 

the car is only rated to 190mph so you are ahead of the game.......

 

 

Wow, that is moving! Keep in mind the speedo's are a little optimistic so the GPS speed might be a little lower.

 

Good point. many years ago when I was doing some motorcycle top speed test, we had a radar gun and I decided to run the 993 C4S. Gun said 160mph but the car stated 178mph.

Bottom line anything over 150mph is fast.

 

the 996 platform is great, even above that speed

 

193 in my old 05 GT3 on my way to Las Vegas.

 

My car is about 10mph optimistic at ~150 mph. Passengers at track days always comment "We saw like 155 on the straight back there"...when in reality GPS data shows 143-144.

None the less...that's moving and I'm pretty jealous we can't do that here in the states!

 

Well done Marcus!!!

 

Andy, the whole point of posting this was to make you jealous! Needless to say my car is SPEED yellow.. those are the fastest anyway as you will confirm

I had my GPS device with me but forgot to turn it on. Didn't want to fiddle around with it while driving. So, yes, this might have been true 190mph instead of 199mph. As said, I could have pushed further... next time.
