>>> well at top speed the RPM was at 6000 <<<
205 mph @ 6000rpm? I don't think so! RPM/gear x tire=speed. A 6 speed 996TT with 3.44 rear end and 0.76 top gear would be going 171.83 mph with a tire 25.1" tall at 6000 RPM. That TIP must have a really,really TALL top gear.
Cheers

PS
Any volunteers wish to step up and offer to host a high speed video? QuickTime format 208+ for about six miles in Nevada.

I will get some help with the video and post it today .. as for your Q's , no i didnt have a roll bar , i wasnt even wearing the seat belt as you will see in the video the the seatbelt light is on . i did the run at 3am our time and it was a long highway connecting kuwait and saudia arabia , i did a run to check on the street to make sure no rocks or left out tires were on the road , then came back the same way .. it was done in 3 runs , the video has only 2 , the first run i made 326 and slowed down .. the second run i made 328 at the highest then speed went down to 327 and i kept it there for about 10 secs ... i just wanted help with converting the video and i will post it today ..
