How fast have you driven your Boxtser?

Quote:

"At no time did the front end start to feel light or did it float. It's ability to stick to the road is better than any other car I have driven. While driving at about 130mph I too went over a bump that felt like it went airborne but I am sure it did not leave the ground. It just feels that way since you are being pushed upwards and your body feels lighter for a split second."

Concerning reckless driving, I think the best thing anyone can do is go race on a track where they've had some proper training and a set of crash walls to contain them. Many people who I've spoken to who do a track day or two instantly feel that need to push it on the roads diminish, it's just not the thrill when you've done 130 or 140 on a real racetrack. After that the thought of doing 105 or something on the road raises real concerns like road conditions, other drivers doing stupid things, and of course the cops, and it's just not worth it.

At the end of the day I feel anyone who has a Boxster vs. a real pony car is kinda missing the point with high speed streaks. This car is built for doing twisties with the top down, carving up corners and enjoying the pleasant winding out of the flat-6. Enjoy the fact your car is built with the quality to streak, and streak well, but it is capable of so much more

The Boxster doesnt hit much over 100mph on the Turnpike, but I did hit 260kph last week on the A5 near Hockenheim in a rental car

Fastest ever driven on 4 wheels? 160mph on the back straight at Riverside Raceway in 1974 in a full race Camaro GT. (very scary)

Fastest ever in my Boxster? 95mph at Streets of Willow racetrack. (The car was as calm and composed as if I was going 40)

Fastest ever in my Boxster on a public highway? maybe 80?? I regularly have hot rod Hondas and SUV's blow by me in traffic at 95mph+... I also see a lot of fatal rollovers. I want no part of either.

fastest I have gone is 135. the car feels very confident but the front end feels light and so its scary.

well it started when i took my car at work and in the middle of the day it start pouring hard and wasn't ready for it and wasn't planning to get the porsche to touch the rain. So what i did is , I drive so fast that the rain don't even had a chance to get my windshield wet...hehehehehe!

Oh Mah bad...that was in video games

Boxster= I've driven it 110mph till I hear my wife screaming.
Audi S3 2.0 T = 130mph on open highway with my son holding the camera.
MB C230 1.8 S/C = 120mph (for a few seconds) on the way to work. got meeting with the big wigs

On most tracks you will never even get close to top speed....

[djomlas]

so ure saying that to all the people that said to take it to the track?

[bosxter7]

I do 230 every day to school usualy only for 2 minits or so . still nothing to the 305 I do on the bike. lol mine seams to have a very bad shake from 146-170 after that its good any one else have that problem? all speed in kph

120 mph, then shut it down. I was surprised I was able to hit that speed in a very short distance. Open highway bridge with no cars, felt it was safe if anything went wrong it would just be me suffering.
