a Porsche 944 Turbo...Took it out on a back road in Louisiana and got up to 141.

They're good at that. I had a chance to drive a 911...I could do the speed limit in 2nd gear.

I had read that a Ferrari would do 70 in 2nd gear so I had to do it in the 944. Once. Never wound it that tight again. Another interesting thing (to me) was my previous 944 was normally aspirated and topped out at about 125. I would shift into 5th in the turbo at 125. Cars.
