Mine does 220, 216 with a passenger I've seen 222 once.
I went out first in the morning the track was damp with with some wet and dry spots. The hot laps were dry. It did start spitting out but not enough to consider it even damp. We entered 4 at 170 km and the 4S didn't even think about going sideways.
They don't do full laps, they don't do the front straight. It's blocked off and they just drive into the pits. People commented that they hit 260-270 on the back straight in the GT2.

I talked to Stef and Jonathan and asked what the top speed they saw in any of the cars down the straight. They said the GT2 hits 265km/h with Mikey driving it. That probably translates to a real 255km/h.
I've found that my speedo is about 5% optimistic in the GT3. When I use the RPM's or GPS to measure the speed at the end of the straight, I'm at 240-245km/h. The speedo however shows an optimistic ~255km/h.
Most surprisngly though is the Cayenne Turbo. Even with coming out of 5 completely sideways, we still hit 210km/h over the hump! With a clean "no fun" exit, I'm sure that truck can do over 220-225km/h!

wow the speedo is off by 15 km? I remembered being told that these gps systems can be off by 10 meters, those were Canadian military units as well. It's hard to believe the gps is more accurate then our speedo.

I Had a blast today, this event is very well put together... Most fun i had was in the Off-Roading with the Cayanne... Laps were fun, epecially the Blue PDK Cayman S and the Silver 6-speed C4S, but i could not go as fast as i can... I got a Trohpy for the Fastest AutoCross Lap Time in my Group.

Here are a few of my pictures from yesterday (sorry for the quality, I took them with my Blackberry). Too bad the silver Carrera (see last photo) was not on the selection of cars to drive...
