Here is a pic of how fast I went on the Autobahn in Germany. As fast as I could go in the car I had borrowed.
I wish Jeroen had come thru with his 911 for the trip south. Geoff Attached image(s)

Sorry, no pic.
Two years ago, the Ghia you see at the left, in my Avatar, back when I had my 912 motor; Death Valley (coming south towards Furnace Creek from Wild Rose), top down, with a passenger, loaded with about 200lbs of camping equipment in the back seat, I got her up to 110. And that's about how hot it was out too. (118 at Badwater Basin, the low-spot). Funny thing is - I knew she had more in her, but I didn't push any faster because I have heard folklore, which I believe may be true, that Ghias go airborne at 120 due to the shape of the nose. I didn't notice any instability or anything. It was as smooth at 110 as it was at 70. I've got 19mm sway bars front and rear, and I was on those 5.5 inch Fuchs replica wheels. If I was about to go airborne, I couldn't tell. But I'm not about to go putting ground effects and a spoiler on that car to take it any faster. That's why I want a 914. |
