Took a guy from work for a ride in my GT700!

Popped down to Mexico to give him a ride found a freeway and starting in second ran up to 150 mph. Told him that we just hit 150 and he said "that's the fastest I have ever been, I can't believe how fast this car goes!"

Stopped and let him drive back he had a huge smile on his face and thanked me many times.

Porsche fan for life now!

Usually just run pump gas 93 octane on the pump program. Occasionally run the race gas program with GT100, GT104 or MS109. The car was dyno'd at Evoms with the race gas program at 640 to the rear wheels.

just tell her you found a 2 dr coupe, 4 seater all wheel drive in excellent condition at half the original MSRP. sounds pretty sensible to me!
