Just over 1700 mph, but not in my Porsche.

I guess I should have been more specific.


The best I have done is my cobra is 150. In my dads E55 140, and in my dads ML430 135, and in his T-bird 135.

192 in the Nevada desert on the Gumball of course. I have bursts to 120-130 all the time, it just gets there so quickly, like average cars getting up to 80

On a related note. How much road would be required to reach 200 mph if the car is capable?
Motor Trend tested a Turbo in a 1 mile acceleration (from a standing start) and got it into the 160's. So if you start at 70-80 mph I would guess you could hit top speed (190's in a stock Turbo?) in 1-2 miles.
