7300 RPM in D4.
Stock suspension, weight 3230 lbs, 235/45/17 Proxes, Bayou S2, CAI/Full Exhaust, Ported E.M, D/S Brembo's, Ceramic Pads, GW, TBB, EGR, VS. Not really sure how fast that is since the needle was burried, but it's damn sure over 160. The hood was shaking so violently, I was sure how long it would hold on. And oh yeah, it was not fun at all over 150 MPH. This was in 05 with the fuzz on my trail. |

I'm also scared to get tickets thats why I don't push the car that often. I normally do it early in the morning, always at the same place, when no one is around. The condition have to be safe, meaning, no one else on the road and no one but me in the car.

Eh...What up Doc
|
137mph according to speedo before I did the engine swap in 06. It was still pulling, and felt very tight and controlled, that was the eery part. I thought it would be like other cars and start shaking and stuff and that I would max it out to see what it could do, thinking it would max at 130 or something. But it didn't and it showed no signs of stopping so I eased up because I realised the cars balls were bigger than mine at that point.

If you Brag about racing, That is a sure way to get a mod to Listen, and for this thread, that isn't a good thing. Speedo indicated 135, just for the record It had more, and so did I, but conditions weren't condusive. |

I've changed my wheels and tires from 205/55/16 tires on 16" wheels to 225/45/17 tires on 17" wheels. For me, this made a big difference how my car handles at high speeds. Now the car feels more grounded and less bouncy. Before the change the car would hit hard if I went over a pothole, now it feels like the suspension is actually working and dampening some of the pothole/road shock. It’s like the suspension has more room to travel. Also, feels a lot more comfortable. Must be the wider tire and slight difference in height. Rob |

Many years ago, after I restored it, I had my 911 Targa up to 142. Scared the bejeezus outta me.
Later, I got my Coupe once-and I mean ONCE-up to 138. For 7 whole seconds. Had to change my drawers. Can you imagine hitting the smallest piece of whatnot in the road at that kind of speed? Instant sammich. That's why I got all that out my system years ago.
