Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

There is a 200km (125 miles) stretch of highway in Australia's Northern Territory that has no speed restrictions - you can drive as fast as you dare without fear of cops springing out and carting you off to instant penal servitude for the term of your natural life. Below is a Porsche promo showing a standard 918 clocking 350 km/hr - luckily not meeting any of the local wildlife such as the odd camel, buffalo or bovine let alone an 18 wheel Mack truck + bogy..... www.youtube.com/watch?v=M68VE61mTyY I'm pleased I wasn't travelling in the opposite direction when the 918 came through - the backwash would have probably thrown me into the scrub backwards.

POST 2Original post

1...We need that in English, please. MPH, thanks. 2...Sure he wasn't on fire in the middle of the desert speeding towards water??

POST 4Original post

Was that a "low tire pressure" indicator lit up to the lower left of the speedometer??

POST 5Original post

Yep, that pretty well epitomizes the pucker factor...

POST 6Original post

Damn, that is crazy fast on a public road (any public road). If anything happened at that speed, you'd never survive. Cool video, but too risky for me. No thanks.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Big cojones for sure. They must have had a sweep vehicle up front as the amount of road kill on these roads is sobering - and I'm not talking about some small mammal or reptile either. Even the scavenging hawks and ravens are big enough to go through the windscreen at the posted speed limit (130km/hr / 85mph), heaven knows what damage a 5lb flying bird would do at over 200mph - there are hundreds of raptors feasting on the carcasses. I don't think there is a town or fuel stop on that section of the road either - so you are a long way from nowhere...

Yes. Should have said we need that in American, not English.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
