Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suspected cause
Carefull with the radars over there BTW, that is the worst part of Spain in terms of speed enforcement (Barcelona-Catalu�a), although being from UK you are probably a pro at spoting them
Leading evidence: 'pro at spoting them' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'pro at spoting them' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Indicated 160 mph in a 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible on cheap polyester tires and no seatbelts....back in the "days".....It's a wonder I'm still here!
In recent times indicated 152 mph in my friend's 1983(?) 512 BBi outside El Paso.
While not in a road car, I did 158.96 mph AVERAGE speed around the two mile oval of California Speedway.. Suddenly that track is not as big as it seemed in the 993
Yikes When I did my runs I did them out in Camarillo out in the farmland on those really long smooth straights, but they were limited by some traffic that I got up on quite quickly. Here's a pic of one of the runs there I think it's about 160ish
165+ in the 964 C4 and 120 in the 99' 996 C2. Im a sissy with the 996 since I've just got it and dont know jack about it yet but it should max out in the near future. Oh yeah, speeding is illegal guys
.
I'm afraid this is as fast as my 3.4l C4 will go without folding the side mirrors in or taking the aerokit's rear wing off
Porsche makes my commute the best part of the day
(Frame grab from a video from web page bellow)
Unfortunately I'm way across to the opposite side of Spain, on the atlantic ocean, in the closest part of Spain to England
Carefull with the radars over there BTW, that is the worst part of Spain in terms of speed enforcement (Barcelona-Catalu�a), although being from UK you are probably a pro at spoting them
But if you are taking your own car, the UK radar freqs are the same as Spain's so you are covered
Well, back when I was young and reckless, 186mph on my Ducati 996 on the A12 in Essex UK (not sure if you know that road Scouser).......but got off the other end and decided to sell it as was amazed I was still alive. 173mph in my unrestricted CL55AMG when I had it.......now living in Spain and driving my C4 Cab have not got it over 250kmh with the roof down !!!! but am waiting for my new C4S cab to see if that is any faster.
Man, believe it or not, I'm ashamed to say this, I have been all around the world but I have never been south of Madrid in Spain yet
Hey, you may want to check out:
http://www.pasionporsche.com/foro/phpBB2/index.php
its a Porsche forum for owners in Spain, with some track events (last month it was nurburgring and Jarama), etc.
BTW, noticed you are a Quad/ATV fan as well
Rob, you are lucky it is just points and cash (I assume it was in MD). The Virginia HP will throw you **** in the slammer. My buddy got 6 days in the can and loss of drving for 1 yr only doing 125 on rt28 by Dulles. And that was a reduced sentence! It's something like 1 day per mph over 100. OUCH!!!
I was lucky because he could have given me a wreckless driving ticket also, another 6 points. Not sure about getting arrested. I belive they could have arrested me and then would have had to release me the same day. Needless to say, my *** has slowed down. No need to loose my license at 32 years old.

I was watching the history of the Autobahn on TV the other night (on the History Channel) and Louis Ruf was talking about high speeds. Having seen the movie before I grabbed my dig cam and waited for his run. The camera panned down from the road to his speedo and I snapped the pic.
Ive done 177mph ( showing on dials) This was without the bodykit. Strange since mine is a basic C2 3.4 . Mine has sports suspension so that might of helped.
With bodykit it only goes to 171 mph.
i had my C4 up to 150 mph once (240 kmh). that was on a deserted highway at 4 am. i hit 140 more than a few times, and 130? who knows, more times than i can count! 120 stopped being fast when i bought a car that could hit it in 4th gear with 2 MORE GEARS TO GO!!!!!!!
now my daily driver is a car that would probably explode if it went over 90...
Carlos. Sounds like your near Cadiz. Probably in/on Gabraltar but not doing those speeds on the rock. I love Espana. Can't wait to go back.
As for speed, I've had this old 911 to 134. More than a little pedal left.
Hi Everyone,
Only had the C2 for a while and so havent had too much of a chance to test out the top speed. Mid range acceleration seems good, however I am slightly dissapointed as it seems to really slow up on the acceleration around 140mph? The max I have managed is 155mph as I simply ran out of open road.
How fast should it keep accelerating from around 140?(2001 - 3.4 C2)
Fastest I have been is an indicated 205mph on the speedo of my best friends HKS tuned R33 Nissan Skyline (650bhp)
"168 indicated (prob. 165 corrected) on s. 101 before paso robles. "
That is THE best palce for speeding. At night, on a weekday, you can go 30 minutes without seeing another car
i did 140-150 consistently for about that amount of time on several occasions
Just a few weeks ago: 319 km/h indicated with my 996 Turbo (stock engine, car has now over 180'000 km). And this speed was sustained for several minutes, and repeated quite a few times. Yeah, german Autobahn... Had the luck to drive several hundreds km at speeds between 250 and 319... Great!
Greetings,

Hmm....that's weird. I thought spoilers made cars inherently faster???? Atleast that's what all the Neon and Civic drivers tell me
My top speed as of yet is about 105mph. I was in 6th and somewhere around 4k rpm so i thought I should back off
It's my GT3 body kit and that damn spoiler that's limiting me
