Closed Course Top Speed

[Overdrive]

Been up to an indicated 137 (according to the readout when I dared to glance at it), and wouldn't think of trying to turn the wheel at that speed...in any car, really. You definitely have to run through every gear, though, and I'd love to find an abandoned/closed runway of a couple of miles to try to see what it can really do...and maybe after putting on an AeroKit.

i've had my car to 150 (so said the speedo) on the highway (i know, i know ...) and the front end does get really light. i think it's (a) the third rad venting down, and (b) high presure in the wheel wells. unfortunately, no way to fix either of those easily.

Risky taking a picture at that speed.

At the time the photograph was taken, my vehicle was only mildly modified (Lacking KW V3's, AASCO LWFW, FVD Brombacher ECU Tune, RSS UDP, IPD Intake Plenum/75mm 997 TB, etc.). In my vehicle, I have reached speeds ranging from 147 MPH (as indicated via the odometer) with the top down to 172 MPH with the top up to 166 MPH with the top up and another passenger in the vehicle. 2 weeks ago I was surpassing 165 + MPH in a high speed run w/ a 996 TT and a V10 R8 on the interstates. Fun times.

I dunno TRK, I figure an AeroKit/GT3 nose and spoiler would be an easy fix...just not cheap...so if by easy you also mean cheap, then yea, still not an easy fix.
