Default Naughty...

Damn nice day today, couldn't help myself.

Went to south MK to meet a pal who had just started a new job, on the way back on the A5 pootling along enjoying the sun, a Porker Boxter or something starts giving it 10 right up my rear bumper.

I thought okay I'll move out of the way into the left lane, pulls up along side me so I thought why not...

7,500 rpm > 150+ mph > bye

I left my flame suit at home so go easy on me

Even the old 2.5 Boxster nudge 150mph - trust me they do.

the 3.2 are a genuine 160mph+ car

I think having a pair of big b***ocks or being slightly nuts (delete where appropriate) help when doing these speeds

Later RA's will do 150+ but your talking a few hundred rpm to redline so not advised at all (I only did a short blast), earlier models had an insane 5th gear so couldn't get above a certain speed.

For that reason I tend not to take the car above 80 mph as I don't like the idea of revving the **** off it.

Aye, my boss has got a Porsche Carrera S, rear wheel drive monster, it's not the turbo charged model but my god does it shift after 100 mph. I had him point to point but we got to a straight and he just took off, bit of handful in the wet as he found out
