Welcome. Great car you got there. I especially like your color choice. Mine is the same but with a Camaro-SS. What's the fastest you have gone on that famous autobahn?

Halo,

Did you remove the governor to reach such speeds?

No its all stock but without a speedlimiter. My Formula went up to 52xx rpms in 4th gear with 3.23 and 245/50/16 Tires . The calculator says 175 mph thats all. The basic new 911 can´t really go away at the Autobahn at topspeed,so it must be right

Hey check us out here. www.fbodyeurope.org we've got a section for the Germans on the site as well when you have time. I must say the autobahn is a blast and you don't have to watch your 6 either which is even more lovely. Matter of fact the only thing you have to watch out for other drivers seeing you come up @ 160+mph and them switching over into your lane. LOL!

Welcome Stephan and enjoy the board. Lots of great information here.

I have been living for nearly 13 years in Germany (Hamburg) and since 2001 I'm living in Austria. Yeah german Autobahn is really fun, guess what I'm missing...

By the way looks like I do know you from bandit-online.de and corvetteforum.de.
Aren't you the guy I sent a copy of my ''Gutachten'' for the 275/40 ZR 17 tires mounted on Camaro SS 9x17 rims? When are you going to swap to these tires/rims combo?

Like SRZ already said just come by to fbodyeurope.org we need some more fast fbodies over there.

Your english is great if you ask me, I doubt I never would have guessed that you were from Germany.

I hope to make it out there one day.

My father has a 81 Porsche 924 Turbo and the guy that owns CAT trucks comes into my work a lot and his fun car is a black 94 911 turbo Ruf.... he traded his 96 911 turbo in for one His daily driver is a Bently GT.

I would love to get on the Autobahn one day, I hear you guys don't have many idiot drivers out there and the few that are are delt with swiftly by the police.... must be nice
