Default I drove 205MPH ! *Video*

heyas ,

well topic says it all .. if was pretty fast , i didnt expect the car to reach that time in such a short distance . I was holding the steering wheel with one hand and my sony cam on the other LOL
anyway the speed it says on the thingy is 328 KM/H which is close to 204 Miles , but im running 19"wheels so im sure thats not 100% correct + my car is a tip (5speed) + havent lowered the pss9's at all its about stock height
*every 15 secs there is a 1 sec cut because i converted the video in camera via memory card .. both runs on video ..
*thats a seatbelt light , i didnt have a rollbar and i wasnt wearing my seatbelt too :/

Why wear seat belt. If you eat at 205, you better off dead than surviving and being relegated to diapers and being a bed ridden quad . . .

I've driven at 295 according to the speedo, I think that qualifies me as insane. I did however use my seatbelt at the time and had both hands on the wheel...

Use some common sense man. 200+, not only do you not have both hands on the wheel, you are endangering everyone on the road, and you are trying to keep a camera steady on the speedo. Were you talking on a cell phone too?

Thumbs up whiteTT, i could never take even a pic above the 260km/hr... I reached 285 with my C2 though.. just about enough!

Question i ask myself always, if those cars made it to 400km/hr would we try to hit it? In the recent Porsche dvd, the narrator states: '' is it the goal that we are really after, or is it the way to the goal..'' Both ways, it's an exhalirating feeling!

I hope some animal never bores a hole in my head and lays its eggs in my brain, because later you might think you're having a good idea but it's just eggs hatching.

It is your choice if you risk your life, but I am sure the people you passed on the road now have a bad imige of all Porsche owners thanks to you. Keep it on the track my friend.

Jeez, I can't see anything except the dash and the picture is jumping all over! Use both hands to hold the camera next time, please.
