During a few moments of sheer stupidity on a straight empty 2 lane highway I took my 1991 Carrera 4 to 165 MPH to see if the top speed was really limited...it was. I could not get it past 165.
My fastest moment of stupidity in the Boxster is 115 MPH on an empty stretch of Interstate freeway.
I'm too old to be doing these kind of stupid things...

112 mph GPS on the hwy, daytime top up. I have done 100+ top down in the day time
No drama, could go much faster car handling wise, but smart wise on public hwy, bad idea
BUT when I drive at night with the top down at 75ish (GPS) I feel like I am going so much faster. It always strikes me how the perception of speed changes for night time
