Boogity, boogity, boogity! What's the fastest you have had you Boxster to?

In the spirit of full disclosure, I had my days of recklessness as a young man and did many foolish things so I fully understand the bravado tone of this discussion. That was long before I could afford a Porsche, track car or track days for that matter.

Not to be the old curmudgeon but there should be a voice of reason when it comes to driving the aforementioned speeds on public roads, it is seriously dangerous not just to the fool driving but to others on the road. Has anyone ever tried to recover or regain control of a car exceeding 150 mph, or 100 mph for that matter on a public road? Hint......You Don't.

Lastly, MANY years back, 155 mph in a Mustang Cobra at VIR before "Hog Pen". Many years before that 180 plus mph (wasn't checking speedo much) on a Suzuki GSXR on a different track..........

Oh, I forgot, you like to make people pee their pants, in your automatic........

Apparently you missed post #39 of mine. I put nobody in danger but myself. As for the automatic, it's not slow and I get to keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times.

Your state has highways with 65mph highways. My state has 70mph and then there are these, with Texas having 85mph.

Four states — Idaho, Texas, Utah and Wyoming — now have top authorized limits of at least 80 mph. A dozen more states have top speed limits of 75 mph, including Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota. Moreover, 22 additional states have a top speed limit of 70 mph, five of which (Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Tennessee) average 70 mph across their urban and rural interstates and other limited-access roads, as listed by the GHSA.

All those speeds can kill people, even 55mph.

I'm not going to trade any more barbs with you Kram, if you want to turn yourself into a smear on the road that's your call. Just think twice about the prospects of killing / maiming some poor unsuspecting guy and his family out of sight over the next rise.

I am very cautious of others. If you go back to post #31 I have Google street view of that stretch. You can see everything, no steep hills to obscure view, you can probably see 2 miles or more ahead of you at all times.

I appreciate the concern, this is not something I do every day. I didn't even set out to do it that day, was just out for a drive and the opportunity presented itself.
