Awwww.... there goes my boner.

Jeph, are we talkin' the high filooten type of water like Fiji or Evian? At what point do I cash in the bottle caps for a golden ticket?

Eslai, sorry about your boner dude. ED is a very serious condition that can lead to blueballitis...very dangerous.

Woohooo....I got my car back!

What was the 987 like at 130 + ? (I'm especially curious if you were top down - wind screen rattling like a motherf*cka). What revs/gear were you doing? Did it seem like there was much more power on tap?

I've only gotten mine up to 110 here in Cali, which is of course like a walk in the park for the Box. I don't want to have only an old college photo ID when they card me for cigarettes.

I took mine up to 134 on the 56 one day with the top up. It started feeling a little light at that point, but it was still easy to keep pointed.

SD, I had the top up and she had more to give. I was in 5th gear at about 4500-5000 rpm. She was not light whatsoever...I swear she squatted down even farther and I was afraid I was going to start dragging the underside.

I have only gone 122 with the top down and I thought the windscreen was going to explode! Definately don't recommend it...
