I have nothing to brag about when it comes to top speed in a boxster. 60mph! Woohoo!
But I did 120mph on an ice covered road in Alaska with my 1970 Olds Cutlass. I was 18 and I just got my speedometer working and I wanted to see if I could peg it out. Young, dumb and full of something else. I wasn't the driver, but a friend gave me a 161mph ride in his McLaren at COTA.

Traqmate certified in my Cayman S Sport:

only 130 at COTA & Indy (updated 5/5/18)
135 at KS Speedway in 2014, with several laps in the 130s

Was hoping for 140 at KS Speedway this yr, but the DE was cancelled after 3 sessions in a dispute between NASA & the Speedway. I had been working my way up the ladder with a top speed of 127.

Since my speed runs are on the track, no chance for a visit to the Gray Bar Hotel.

105 mph in my Box on the straightaway @ Streets of Willow CA. Both ways uphill or down same max speed.

In 4 other cars in various places 135 mph, always thinking about what happens if I hit something that blows a tire makes me lift.

140 in my BMW 745. Smooth as ever, felt like I was going 90. I honestly wouldn't want to do that in the box.

Speedo ended at 100, but fuel cutoff on my jeep was 114mph. I ran into it surprisingly fast.
Plug in programmer upped top speed to 128, but I never got that high

Touched 155 in my b5s4

Box has seen middle 120's

All indicated speeds were recorded in Mexico.

Wow......that would be one of the moments of my life being blown away by a Countach.... dream car bar none for me and hope never to drive one cos I know the dream would be somewhat shatterered.

With regards to top speed... an indicated 155 in the box and 160+ in my old Subaru impreza

Boxter and Zed

I have not really pushed my 2000 2.7 Boxster much. Mostly like to hit the twisties hard in my area. I can leave it in 3rd and she will naturally brake great.

I was going up a two lane freeway on-ramp when a WRX passes me and honks. I get on it and was on his tail all the way up to shifting into 5th gear. Looked down and was doing 115. We both let off about then and his cute blonde girlfriend gave me a thumbs up!

In my 2003 ZZR1200 I have hit 175 on a deserted highway near Moab Utah. Bike had plenty left I did not!

Mike.

The world goes by very quickly at 170 MPH on a motorcycle, especially when you need to slow down for the next corner ! At least I didn't need to worry about getting a ticket .
same place I've done my fastest times! 187mph, Honda cbr100rr superbike. Love that track!

So far only 135 in the Porsche.

185 Mph as a passenger in a 993 twin turbo GT3 on autobahn heading in to Bitburg, same day 140 Mph in 944, driving back to Ramstein while owner slept in passenger seat.

My Boxster S only been 125 MPH for short burst, and my turbo 2008 Mondeo 135 MPH.

Almost got to go to Nurnburg Ring with my friend in his 993, but I got to cold had to head home. He now has a 997 Turbo, oversized turbo, and front drive removed, full carbon fiber pakage.

Your top speed?

An effortless 148 mph (per my gps) in my 2005 Jaguar XKR. Love my 986s, but I really miss my XKR with its supercharged 4.2 liter V8. It was a true luxury GT (and my daily driver when we returned to Houston after our 10 year expatriation).

I haven’t had the chance to take my 986 over 100 mph.
