I did 160 once in my friend 944 Turbo. That car feel solid to the ground. German Engineer is the best. The car can go more but I chicken out and let off the gas. My old Talon feel like a boat when it hit 120.

If you ever get a chance, take a stroll through Sport Haus (off 395 near Winco). They build porsche race cars and have many fine machines on the floor.

I have a 1991 C4 that they have done some great work on (coilovers, sway bars, exhaust...etc.)..................Wrx still beats it 0-80!

I was in there 4 weeks ago, and there are cars in there that will definately make anyone drool. Ferraris and some nicely restored motorbikes too.
