I've been asked many times 'How fast will she go Mister?' by kids/lads. Only yesterday I was asked by a young child with his Dad 'what does it say on the clock?' and felt a little embarrassed/disconcerted to tell the kid the truth. 'It says 225mph on the clock, but it won't do that'..........

So what have you seen on your speedo?

Rev limiter in sixth gear, 205 on the clock here! :D
 
Have always wanted to experience the big 200! Witnessed 182 on the Satnav in a 993TT near the Nurburgring once.
 
That's quite something! I don't know anyone with a car that breaks the 200 barrier.
 
Indicated 200mph, actually 193mph at Bruntingthorpe and indicated 190mph on Autobahn in the 996 Turbo.
Indicated 165mph roof up and 130mph roof down in the SL55 AMG.

Both cars were still accelerating at those speeds.

Somebody asked me that this afternoon, 'very' was my reply.

280km/h is my PB in Germany. :D
 
On my bike, 186 speedo reading.

But as a passenger:

Vmax Nine Eleven:

Tom Brooks 996tt 2001 silver 570bhp 163 (911tom)
Marek Soroka Porsche 996 Turbo 162 (Mazza)
Andrew T 996 turbo 159 (ragpicker)

T8's car too 288 mph :grin:
 
I did see 176 mph in Germany the car was still pulling , sadly my bottle was running out :eek:
 
You boys need to get yourselves to terminal velocity in April. There will be plenty of 200mph+ cars there.
 
I had 210mph on the dash at Terminal Velocity last year :D

Martian - I think you misunderstood the kid.

He was just enquiring about the mileage to ensure it wasn't yet another Porsche garage queen! :D
