Speedrestrictions 996


Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a Porsche 911 Carera 4 996 2001 from your country (US).

A super car, if I say so myself (had never ridden a 911).

Germany, the country of speeding UNLIMITEDLY is situated next too our country and

off course I tried the maximun speed of my car....

The car drives smoothely but does not seem to have the maximum power; it would not

go faster than 259 kmrs/hr or 161 mls/hr (downhill...)

The brochures all say that 280 kmrs/hr or 174 mls/hr should be a possibility....

Does someone know if there are speedrestrictions issued/built in in America's Porsches???

The Porsche specialist that checked my car said that there is nothing wrong with the engine

and combustion; so why does it not reach its maximun speed???

Hi,

I too live next to Germany and drive on there Autobahns, at least once a month at high speed.

Your 911 spent the last nine years going slow most of the time in the USA, I would change the spark plugs, plus are your wheels standed size or bigger? if bigger that would slow you down a lot. And turn off the AC on a high speed test.

Good Luck with it.
