I don't know stony, when it comes to top end wishful thinking I don't find Porsche to be a violator, especially when contrasted against other manufacturers. Every Porsche I owned was good for exactly what the manual said it would be good for. Check out say a Tiberon if you want to see some numbers only achievable by driving off a cliff. Lastly, even if the other cars can reach what they say, you better have St Chris on the dash as the ride will be dicey up there whereas in a Porsche you could eat a sandwich at 100 if you had to. The 944 went to 150, the manual said 143 top end I don't find that an egregious Pinocchio tale. The absolute dumbest period of my life was when the government made 80 the speedo limit, my Kawasaki pinned that somewhere between third and fourth.
