How accurate was your dyno test? The unmodified 99' should only be able to do 150ish.

I've hit an indicated 125 at the track. Why "indicated".. well.. Porsche speedos are not as accurate as they used to be. I have read (online) many reports that on the newer cars they can read as much as 10% too high. More often 5-8% high. So.. 125.. maybe that was only actually 112.. maybe it was dead on though.. Doubt it was reading "low" though

As accurate as my speedo says. 168mph. Your right an unmodified boxster should only hit about 150... On the track/street. There is no wind resistance on a dyno.

Hmm,that makes sense. How much of that do you think is due to modifying your Boxster?

Interesting replies ! I was however talking about 150 plus and like the rest ofyou i have not approached that.

Hahahaha I've spent some time in a B2200. Those things are BEAST, 0-60 in 16 seconds(no joke I timed it) and they look like micro machines. My friends Dad has one and we took it joy riding,Dukes of Hazard style one night,man that was unforgettable. I give it mad props though,we abused it,got air in it and who know what else and it still drives with 250k on it this day.

I recently did a road trip and had my '02 BoxS up to 108mph. Like someone said before, it felt like I was doing 75. It was quiet and very stable.
