Default Boy this car is one sweet ride.....at high speed (triple digits)

Just wanted to chime in on my trip down I-95 to see my Jetskins last Thursday & Friday. All I can say is WOW! Smooth as silk at high speed in the rain and dry road. I was forced to reset the speed warning indicator to 125 MPH (hate those bells), because it was set by the dealer at delivery for 100 MPH.

It amazes me how this car just hunkers down at high speed and is so stable...I had the opportunity to play with a 993 coming back home, on dry pavement...WOW!

You are toying with me now!!I'm still waiting until October to get my car. It will be the same color as yours with amaretto. Our Packers did not do too well on Sunday.

Chronic, does this mean that you are through the break-in period? LOL

I can't either. I think I'll keep that speed regime for my Bonanza (airplane). Jeff
