125 mph at Sears Point. Subtracting the 4 mph difference in actual speed vs readout 121 mph.

138 mph with 5hz GPS data logger on a proper race track. April 4, 2014 CFOS

I tend to stay within the grey areas of the speed limit on public roads.

That's 164.66 MPH, highest so far. Did a governor kick in? I'm curious to this Boxster 164 MPH top speed I have read about.

I'm often asked, "how fast will it go?"

I reply, "According to road tests I've read, it is supposed to go 165 or so, but I've never taken it above 140." But I never say how far below 140 I've driven it, I just leave them to believe whatever they want to believe.

In truth, I haven't done that kind of speed on public roads in many years.

Fastest speed on a public road

116mph, top down and it felt much faster, top up since it had a tear 80mph too noisy and different feeling these speeds were achieved at 2am pretty much clear roads.
