Supposed to do 172 mph but no roads to try that.
Nice. I was a Boxter early adopter. Had a 1998. Not many people can say this, but I actually enjoyed my commute up the Garden State Parkway, especially running through the gears leaving the toll booths (pre-ezpassJust got this to replace my Miata.

Maybe try a track? When I found out my tune got rid of the governor on my Mustang, I went down to the speedway to see what it was all about. Brand new set of racing tires. Helmet. The works. Got to 151, and brought it immediately back down before I passed out from the heart attack. Spent the rest of the time doing laps averaging about 90 to 100. Great time. Won't do it again. ?Supposed to do 172 mph but no roads to try that.
When I was fresh out of college, I bought a Triumph TR6. The owner's manual said that it would do 118 mph. I got so many tickets trying to get there that insurance company gave me their "just one more ticket" speech. I listened to them and quit that. I also had a 1986 Corvette advertised to do 155 mph but never had that more than 90 or so. Track sounds like a good idea.Maybe try a track?

I don't know how those people do it.
This will mostly be a weekend/ good weather car for me but I am tempted to take the Porsche Driver's Education training offered by PCA. They pair you with a racing instructor and teach you what not to do.Nice. I was a Boxter early adopter. Had a 1998.

My semi recently departed ‘71 Mach 1…![]()
And my ‘12 F150, which left a week ago today. They both now reside with an old buddy in the desert southwest.![]()
Leaving us with just these couple of horses tucked in the barn.![]()
Thought I’d include a shot of Frostys namesake, sometime before the swap for the Bronco. ?![]()
