Your top speed?
What's your top speed in the Box, then in any other car?
148 in Box, Mojave desert. I swear I heard it sigh as I let off, too chicken to get 150. The ranger and pinto are not worth recalling. |
138 mph. Allegheny National Forest, western PA.
|
a tiny 125... :p
|
3, The others are not worth mentioning.
|
My 119 feels slow compared to some of these and it was on the track. I have accidentally hit 90 going up onramps before, especially the long ones. Then I look down... Yikes! Don't want to get a ticket. But it feels so smooth...
|
2.7L --> Max Speed almost 270kmh or 168mph --> Autobahn
and still not the fastest on the left lane :D |
I'm a paltry 123mph, on the other hand I haven't had a moving violation in 25 years.
|
Well, it wasn't in the Boxster, but I hit 170 MPH on the straight at Miller Motorsports Park (only 3,000' long) on my 2005 MV Agusta F4 1000S motorcycle. The world goes by very quickly at 170 MPH on a motorcycle, especially when you need to slow down for the next corner :eek:! At least I didn't need to worry about getting a ticket ;).
|
176 on the GPS.... legally.
|
130 MPH on a deserted Hwy 99.
|
Don't trust all those speedometers guys. My speedometer says 140 down the backstretch at Road Atlanta, but Aim GPS says only 130.
|
127.7 mph GPS, entering Turn 2 Auto Club Speedway Roval. Car was just as calm and planted as could be.
|
175 on the autobahn in rented Carrera S. I've only had the Box S for a few months and hit about a 100 at the DE I did yesterday at Bondurant's west track. The instructors GT3 I rode in we hit 120 on the same straight.
|
I don't get too involved with top speeds on interstates or highways. That's not why I bought the car. I am a "twisty" guy. Out where I live there is a deserted rural uphill section of SR-22 that is about 5 miles long and super twisty. There are multiple yellow diamond signs showing the suggested speed limit as 15mph or 25mph. I did the route at an average of 64mph once by keeping it in 3rd and letting the engine (and gravity) serve as my brake. (and I stayed in my lane the entire time.)
|
On track 158 recorded on a Traqmate. Fairly modified Boxster, suspension, Brakes, intake, exhaust, 3.6, 5 speed, NT-01 tires. The speed isn't the nerve part the braking is back to about 60 coming to the infield track.
|
176 going from Wiesbaden to Frankfurt am Main in my 911 Carrera. But, I got my doors blown off by a yellow Countach. He went by me like I was standing still.
|
On the #505 just south of the #5 in California, no other traffic visible. A BMW of some kind passed me when I was doing about 80. I passed him back. He passed me again with a smile. I was sure I had more top end and stepped on it. About to go by him I looked down & saw 140 and thought 'they will take my car from me for good' and eased off. Now I wish I had risked it for another 15 seconds. It had plenty left and the speed was hardly noticeable in the way it rode.

Big bro may be watching...
|
145 in the boxster a very ling time ago. I won't say where.

245 kpm in the Boxster S, entering hwy 1 BC at 3:00 am, was still climbing but got a hold of myself...
|
241 mph on an undisclosed runway.
|
132 in my Box S and averaged 170 around the Kansas Speedway in one of those 10 laps deals in a Nascar racecar.
|
260km/h then hit the end of the straight stretch haha

Besides I'm more into the twisty kind of driving fun, although its always tempting to go faster since it just takes off so nicely and just keeps on accelerating with that securely planted handling. |
best speed
121 on a stretch of I-85
|
145 km/h for 15 second................ a big fine and almost lost my driving License.....LOL..:mad:
|
125 mph per the speedo on I-95 in FL in my '01 S. Probably only 118-120 mph in reality. I plan to go higher at some point when the circumstances are "right". I almost always "accidentally" get into the 90's when getting on and up to speed on I-95.
|
120 on the speedo on I-44 between Lawton, OK and Wichita Falls, TX. So that was actually only 112-114. That was plenty for me.
In my impetuous youth, Between Tulsa and OKC heading south about 20 years ago, I estimated 140mph in my Chevy Caprice. Used to drive it between Lawton, OK and Chicago all the time so I threw a 2.56 rear axle in it along with a 22 gallon gas tank. I was so stupid back in the day. Had the cruise set at about 120 rolling through Illinois for about an hour. So stupid. |
148 on a highway in the Bay Area after installing the race exhaust.
Pretty stupid but it was fun. Knock on wood nothing happened :cheers: |
200kph (125mph) on a long straight stretch of empty highway. Had the top down and the car started to feel light so I didn't go any faster. Frequently hit 160 kph when passing, especially if I am passing two or three semi's at a time.
|
Speedo said 130 mph going into Turn 1 at Brainerd International Raceway, GPS said 125.
|
158 mph on an empty stretch of highway with a nice hill before a flat
|
120 in the Boxster S, not really trying. I usually reserve my high speed runs for two wheels, 155 on my old CBR and 150 on my Ducati so far. Prefer the twisties for both car and bike but there is nothing like the rush of a modern sportbike's acceleration.

I think the fastest I went in any car, Boxster incl, is 160km/hrs. Cars are way way way too heavy for me to be able to handle if anything goes completely wrong. Actually scares the hell out of me.
However I have a 210hp superbike (Honda HRC Fireblade or CBR1000RR) and track/clock this bad boy at over 312km/hrs on the back straight twice every single months Below goes fast! Boxster = showoff at traffic lights only ;) http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1391459072.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1391459092.jpg |

200 KPH/ 6500 RPM in 5th gear for 1 hour in northern Quebec, about 4 am in 1989. Temp gauge never budged. 1989 Civic Si

135 in 4 different vehicles, mental governor I suppose. None of these was my DD Box I have had for 11years. Owners manual states top speed 165 & I figure the added 75 HP increased it to 170.
I think this one had a little left in it especially if not going uphill next time. :chicken: http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/0091391473788.jpg |
You are all under arrest...
|
You have the right to remain silent, should you give up that right, anything you say will be used against you... ;)
|
I observe all speed limit signs. No matter how fast they are going by.....
