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.

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.

On a straight stretch of highway I managed to get an indicated 262 km/h out of my 89 944 Turbo. It was still pulling very slowly but I had to back out because of a turn coming up.

137 in my 1998 Lexus GS400 (STUPID Speed cap) Car has plenty of pull still at that speed, and glides along like the wind (just don't turn)!

Also 131 in the teeener (indicated) I had low profile tires at the time, on 15 in rims. Prolly was only just a bit over 100mph. Tons of fun though!

Hi

I did 125 mph in my 1967 Buick Rivera with the AC on, when I was in high school. It still had more, but I ran out of road. The Buick was floating on the suspension and who knows if the speedo was right.
I got the car from a V.P. at Buick.

Posche Trivia:

1) the first mid-engine porsche was designed by ferdinand porsche in the early 30s for the "Auto Union". the new "Hochleistungs-Fahrzeugbau GmbH" company was exclusively founded to develop this grand prix race car. the internal project name was simply "P".
the car was equipped with a V16, 4.36L engine. a Roots-Kompressor was added bringing the max. output to 295HP at 4500 rpm.
(pictured in "Das Grosse VW-Porsche Buch", page 12, middle/right and page 13, top)

2) the second mid-engine porsche was built by ferry porsche in the late 40s, using the original "P" design as a template. the car was ordered by the italian Piero Dusio and was called the "Cisitalia". it featured a 12 Cylinder Boxermotor with just 1.5L displacement. fitted with a kompressor, the engine produced a staggering 450HP at 10500 rpm and featured 4 overhead camshafts and dual weber carburetors.
(pictured in "Das Grosse VW-Porsche Buch", page 12, top/left)


ok, you're right, i'm bored. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) just reading THE book and felt like sharing ...

No pic's but in college a buddy of mine had a 1952 Ford Crown Victoria sedan with a hopped up original flat head. Following several rounds of liquid courage, we buried the speedo (120 max). Good guess might be 130 or so. How that thing didn't fly off the road I don't know. It floated like a boat. But man, what a ride!!!

I've gone faster (140 on the straight at Road Atlanta in a BMW M3 is fastest ever) but this is my only speedo pic on record. This was on my first day driving my teener back to MI from CA. last year (on 165/60/15 bald tires)

Don't call it a death grip. Just tell people you were holding the car together. I'm sure it was rattling like all hell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

170MPH on my GSXR Superbike at Spokane Raceway Park (Spokane WA).
It has a Mile long straight so you got that fast -slow-fast sensation before hauling it down and pitching it R. L
