05 Coupe TOPPED OUT'
A few questions - did you take the pic when going 140+ mph? Not very smart! Going 140 mph on turns with only Tein S Tech springs? Not very smart times two! As E_K mentioned - take it to the track not on our roads.

I dont't know about turns but on a straight the car is pretty stable at this speed. I'm driving daily on the german autobahns (very often no speed limits) and right after I made the picture below I had to get on the right lane to let the 911 Turbo, who was cathcing up, pass me. I'm not saying I always drive at this speed, this was only to test the limiter, but generally the traffic is a lot faster here.

By the way the A1 and A8 aka autobahn has speed limits you can not go as fast as you want . In certain areas there is no speed limit but most keep it 100 to 140 KPH thats about 60 - 80. however if you are like me you take advantage of the sections which have no speed limit and go as fast as you can I got up to 165 MPH not in my G.

You're right WILD, as I wrote, there are often straights with no speed limit but not always. On A5 and A2 you'll find plenty of those 
It's still nothing, however, compared to a few laps on the Nuerburgring -> after a lap on this track (21km) you feel like you've done 500km on a winding road. And the car probably ages the same mechanicaly. A very exhausting but exciting track.

Eddie23 - I remember seeing a documentary on the German Autobahn discussing the consistent road maintainence. They make the road as safe as possible for high speed driving. Unfortunately in California, the freeways are horrible.

Wow . . . Please be careful. I dread the day when I read about some young member on this forum involved in a serious accident. Fun is fun, but please use a bit of prudence and consideration.
