Chicago to Calgary Canada in 2013. We only stopped for food, gas and bathroom breaks. 6,788 miles in 7 days, from Georgia to Edmonton Ab Canada, and back. 3.8L Gen III Flat 6 powered 99 Boxster (330 RWHP)!

107 miles of that one leg of the trip was on a dirt road in Montana :-)
Charles Navarro (Of LN) and I were dead after this run.

I've done several 454 mile runs between NC to FL to see my girlfriend, only 1 stop for gas. Never any problems, ran like a top.

Edit: I also drove it back from PA to NC; I think that one was 550 miles? Unsure.
