Holy Porsche Of God
Came upon this beast and thought some of us turbo heads might enjoy this.

I saw a show on TV where a car tuner company souped up Porches and then tested them in Germany at night...so they could certify the top speed of the car before they returned it to the owner...I guess they do it with all the cars they tune. Well they took one like that up to 224 mph (not kph) with a driver and camera man. They said they would get a few more mph without the camera man...they had to do the testing at night because the traffic during the day slows things down on the autobahn. I can't imagine going 224 at night let alone daytime. Talk about driving beyond your lights
Either way...seemed pretty cool.

How cool would that be to fly by a cop going that fast? That would make any Red blooded american's heart skip a beat.

Yea I seen that show, it was on the History Channel. I remember some old gentlemen filling up a Yellow Porsche w/ gas then going 200mph+ on the Autoban.

Imagine passing a cop over here that fast.
I would prolly just reset the radar and get the next big speeder at 5 mph over.
