202mph a couple of times. I held that speed for a couple miles and thats as fast as it would go. I did brake pretty hard from that speed and the car stayed straight and was very stable. I had the PSM off when I did the runs but I was told that it automatically comes on under braking....

181 MPH
On a desert road in Cali. It was 6AM in Bakersfield and the whole crew just returned from a night of mandatory partying .. So with 20 minutes of sleep I decided what better time than the present to test the limits of the 996TT. Foot down full throttle and then in what seemed like 3 seconds 181 registered on the speedo..
Thats when I opened my eyes and lost my ***** .. Car definetaly had alot more in it.. The car has a very aggressive Aero kit so at 181 it felt as if you could keep one hand on the wheel and talk on the cell phone with a hang over..In fact thats what I was doing. I need another day like that and the courage to push it past 200 MPH... Maybe I should wait for the points to comeoff my license first

Does anyone have a video cam shot of the instruments running all the way to ###?
That'd be awesome to see the shift points, rpm, and all
Should mount a wide angle digicam on the steering column or wear one.

Max on the analog speedo is 320kph. What's the max on the digital speedo? 999kph?

Since Lonman is from London, I'm guessing the analog kph's are higher. Who knows ..
