Don't mean to rain on the parade BUT!
Nice video and there is no doubt what the INDICATED speedo says but I stand by my earlier statement: unless the top gear has been changed, 6200 RPM is way less than a real 205 MPH! Go read your owners manual and look at what Porsche publishes! Horse power increase will get you to the top faster but rpm/gear x tire footprint=speed. Ask CJV what his top end is! I will guess something less than 190MPH because of his gear changes!

Ruf,
You picqued some interest here since I hae always been interested in top speed runs. I would like to go through the process of calculating the theoretical top speed of a stock geared 996TT at redline. What is the ratio of engine rpm to wheel rpm in 6th gear?? Anybody??
