I've gone 150 in a slightly modded 88 3.2 Carrera...about 130 in my 997S...but going fast in a straight line isn't that much fun, now that I've gotten into the whole track deal. Coming into a hairpin at 80 is a lot more interesting, IMHO. Coming into a threshold braking zone at 180???? cannot even imagine it.

I hit 143 in the back straight at Sebring before I had to brake for turn 17. I prefer the skill it takes with braking and setting up for the perfect corner but it all is still fun.

Since my 997 is only about a month old and I only have 500 Miles on her - to date I've done 110. The past few weeks haven't been driving weather here in the northeast. I can't wait till spring and the nicer waether to really open her up.

100+ mph in a '98 Honda Civic EX for ~70-75 minutes, at a time. We made the drive from Gainesville, FL back to Atlanta (350 miles) in 3 hours, 45 minutes including 2 stops for gas.
Did I mention it was raining as we left FL?

Does anyone know how many pounds of downforce does the aerokit add to the front/rear axels at a fixed speed?

Topped out 5th at an indicated 152mph, but the GPS showed it was only 146mph...soon as it was time for 6th I had to back off.
This was done on a back country road that had NO side roads entering it & I know
it like the back of my hand....nothing to stop little animals from stepping in front of me, though.
I hit a GPS verified 165mph on my ZX9R with more to go as well.
