I personally have only gone 105 once. The person who I purchased the car from said he had it up to 140MPH on the Autobahn when he lived in Germany. I think for the 99's that is the top end and the car may be speed limited at that level.

I had no doubt the car could handle the speed, but living in PA, I wondered how the Boxster would fare hitting a dear at over 100MPH. It is a great car but somehow that would not be pretty.

145 with the top down on the freeway in LA smoking a Corvette... damn, he was not too happy about that. I am not saying it was the brightest thing to do, but I already had the care for a while and I was used to it. I know what to expect and know the limits of the car. It was definitely interesting, but I still prefer the car in the twisties. I have never been a fan of drag racing or any other straight-line racing. I have gone 150+ on a bike and do ride on the track occasionally. That is still more of a rush to me. I wish I could have taken the box up to 150 or more, but never had the chance. I just traded it in for a new toy, but will probably get a 997 4S in the next 2 years if everything goes as planned.
