250 mph? Did you drop it from a helicopter?

Insanity

I myself, sometimes find the urge to see how fast I can take the car, but, have not done so. Trust me, I love the thrill of speed having ridden and owned several sportbikes in the past, but the dire consequences of having taken a car up to such insane speeds as I'm reading below on the STREET is plain stupidity.

I wish I could share with all of you the pictures I have examined and seen in my files of the barely recognizable mangled pieces of metal intertwined with human body parts from motor vehicle accidents. The pictures of the people involved, with blood and parts everywhere haunts me. It would make you seriously think about driving recklessly on the street. God forbid, if you were ever involved in an accident and killed someone - - that, would be vehicluar manslaughter.

I know we all want to see how fast our boxster's ago, but please, reserve it for the track. Let's make sure that we all get home safe and alive and that we don't jeopardize anyone else's lives.

Sorry if I sound like buzzkill or killjoy, but I've seen too many horrible things happen and I would hate to see one of us hurt ourselves or others.

Just my 2cents.

My top speed so far has been 202kph (125.5 mph). I didn't have the car very long and was doing some spirited driving on the highway with very few cars on it. An M3 cab came up behind me and the 2 of us picked up the speed and spent the next few minutes trading places and I looked down to see my top speed of 202. I had to slow down once there was more traffic but it was quite a rush while it lasted.

151 Top Down....Car got up to 140 no problems but it was a crawl from 140-151. Car was super stable, only thing that was worried me was the rear wind screen I thought for sure I was going to lose it.

137 mph was it for me , you need a lot more room to move up in mph from that point.
