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...

I don't really know what the gas mileage was at those speeds. However, I have set the cruise at 99 (week attempt at keeping from going to jail), reset the computer and it showed about 22.3 gal per mile. I honestly think 100 is the sweet spot on this car. The gas mileage is still better than my 4 runner and she rides like glass. The rpms are over 4000 so she has a nice reasonance and I think that is where the cam changes? so that gives her the go if I hit the gas. I can't believe I only have a straight box and not the S with the 6 speed.
