    Re: How fast have you gotten your 911 to go?

    Did about 135mph in my cayman S on the M1 a few weeks ago (before they put the average speed cameras in)
    Hit 148mph in my old BMW 330Ci coupe on the A406 / north circ in london about 3/4 yrs ago. It was very late, very twitchy and a very stupid!
    They've since put an additional speed camera in to render this kind of speed impossible...

    156mph on the M40. My poor old 986 then started slowing down on a hill!

    Re: How fast have you gotten your 911 to go?

    285 km/h on my GPS. I have no idea what speed the car displayed. I was busy looking ahead. I have a standard Carrera. The GPS saved "my record" as I found later.

    65mph. That is plentyfast knowing you could loose your job if you have a criminal record.

    187mph in 993 ghosting a Carrera GT ,( 2 tenths slower to quarter of a mile than the GT , not bad effort for 10yr old car against the flagship)

    Something else I would mention. I love driving at 82mph because at that speed, I know that there is still another 100mph left in reserve



    I had exactly this thought the other day

    180 mph on the E35 north out of Basel, CH. Not even planned! Just did it. Plenty of pedal left.

    Re: How fast have you gotten your 911 to go?

    Speedo said 174 in the Las Vegas desert. It was a 1990 Carrera 4, so probably whatever the top speed was for that car, I hit it.

    996 GT3RS - 200MPH (Indicated)
    997 GT3 - 207MPH (Indicated)

    Both attempts on german autobahns.
    Those in the UK exceeding 100MPH - you're mad! Madder to admit it on a forum.

    Re: How fast have you gotten your 911 to go?

    IMO what one states here on an internet forum carries no risk in practice of a speeding conviction.

    Our identities are superficially anonymous but that if the authorities tried to obtain concrete information about any of us, all they could prove was that (1) 'someone' opened an account on Rennteam in a particular person's name and (2) that 'someone' was using a particular IP address to access Rennteam when posting a reply.

    How would that hold up in court? I don't think so....

    Relax and enjoy your relative anonymity here

    BTW, yes, I am a lawyer before you ask

    I understand people have been prosecuted as a result of their internet admissions?

    Re: How fast have you gotten your 911 to go?

    You need to give more detail than that...

    I think internet statements are merely useful to the authorities when they want to decide who they want to investigate and where to focus their attention....

    Obviously, if you upload videos of yourself (with your car and licence plate) doing 150mph on youtube then you are asking for trouble....even then they would need to be able to identify the driver....but verbal statements by an anonymous poster aren't evidence for the reasons previously stated.

    That's interesting to know. I own a forum of 12,000+ members and it's always been a delicate line, thanks.
