Place your Fastest MPH here...........
43mph on my Gunnar Roadie bicycle!
125 in S2K. Felt very stabel but felt a serious drop in acceration once I hit 120. If that is the case, then wat's the point of a higher top speed?
I've been 75-80 in the Ferrari 360 in my sig, but I was so stoked just to be behind the wheel that it didn't matter how fast I was going. And the paddle shift is perfect in that car for all doubters!

One person here says that top speed comes up quick - NOT TRUE
130 in 5th - ok - but 152 in 6th???? believe me - takes forever!!!!
From 130-152 you better have a couple of miles of road at least. VERY SLOW - anyone who says otherwise is lying and has not actually driven that fast in an S2K

XXX waiting for runs this Spring with the hardtop. You really need perfect conditions - cold, empty, smooth road, no cars, strait, yada yada.

I'll probably get to the 170's in a 997S this Spring.
120 redline in my old 95 toyota celica GT, which felt super safe on a straight road downhill going to Santa Fe from Albuquerque. 135 in S2K in fifth gear almost redline going East out of Albuquerque. I was inexperienced in this car and it got way too loud (at the time) top up in the middle of the night with some slight curves to the road. I passed a big rig and it made the car feel very unsteady so I let off. I have never gone over 110 since but average 100 on the way into town going to work coming into Albuquerque. The highways here are all flat and straight and everybody drives well over 80 but I don't want the ticket.

FearlessFife, ever take the dogs for a ride?
I used to have a Maxima SE and the dog loved stading on the console and sticking his head out of the moonroof. He is SO uncomforatble in the S. He is a black lab/rockweiler mix is why I ask.
