Driving on Texas Motor Speedway

[Fluellen]

146mph is the top speed of your car, according to Porsche.

When running these speeds do you even look at the tach, or too focused on the road? Also how does the steering and handling feel... assuming a nice long "straight-away".

The car doesn't feel nearly as planted over ~130 or 140. Could use more downforce front and rear.

I guess that's when a GT3 front bumper and that rather large AeroKit spoiler comes in handy, eh?

You'd think with that spoiler popping up nearly 90 degrees to the trunk lid would give you some serious downforce, and while I know it won't plant the car at its speed limit, you'd think something that angled would really mash down on the rear end with downforce.

Heheh...maybe lift the trunk lid up to a point and rig it to stay open...massive spoiler. :dance:

It's not rock solid but you won't get scared unless you're getting into the 150s.

Steering has some, but little, vibration but that could have been due to the road.

DOH! Didn't see he had a non-S.
