Whats the fastest you've ever gone in your boxster?
 
I have an 03 986 base with 70,000 miles and yesterday I hit 118 it was completely fine shaking a little but nowhere near what you would think for that speed.

We just had a very long thread on this subject, and let me tell you, you're nowhere near the record!!!! :cheers:

Do a thread search and you'll find dozens of responses to this question.

I am sure you are referring to driving 118 on a track and not public roads, right? (various forum members and the owner do not condone triple digit speeds on public roads!) ;)

I hit 115 on the track at my last DE and that's the fastest I've driven my box. Not the fastest I've driven a car though... that would be 162 mph in a Carrera on the autobahn.

Smooth as Glass!!
 
143 MPH and smooth as glass!!

yabbo 02-17-2010 10:59 AM

fastest speed so far
 
I have been above 145 MPH. Had no shaking and was smooth as glass driving as if i was doing 60. I has been snowing here so i haven't been able to get her out lately and its driving me nuts lol :)

With my luck, I'd chew up an IMS bearing about the same time I hit tipple digits with the RMS collapsing because the AOS couldn't take anymore causing the engine to lock hard before I could push in on the clutch that now failed locked sending the Box into a terrible spin throwing it into something much more solid than itself causing just enough damage to not total it just as an officer of the law happened to be passing by and as luck would also have it, witness the entire event to help in my proper recollection for the judge.

Or something like that. :D

BRAVO, This post is a hall of famer!

Kim-M 02-17-2010 02:35 PM

Quickurt 02-17-2010 03:18 PM

I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may incriminate myself.

:cool:

You got tagged going 124 mph? I remember you posting about this but didn't realize it was that fast. How did that end up for you?

Yeah brother, spent all my mod money on that.

Happy to say though I learned my lesson... That was 3 years ago this May and I haven't gotten a ticket since.

Yeah, I learned my speeding lesson as well a while back. All it took was two weekends in jail and a $750 fine.

986rgt 02-18-2010 05:19 PM

My 99 2.5 made it all the way up to 154, with objects fast approaching, I decided it was best to not go for the last 200rpm before the limiter!

Oh yeah, on closed undisclosed course.
