Default Getting the 911 ready for summer!

Just thought I would share some pics of my hard work paying off. I spent quite a bit of time throughout this past week getting her waxed and prepped for the diving season. Lots of elbow grease and coats of Zaino later, here are the results......

Just curious, what's the top speed on a convertible vs a coupe? I know on the Turbo coupe its darn near 200 or right at it. I'm sure the Germans have it figured out on how to keep the top from flying off at high speed, but I have seen some pretty hilarious things like giant bubbles in the top on old American cars with old/worn out roofs going down the interstate.

It was just a tad over 193mph. There's several convertibles that top out right around there, they solved that issue ages ago- even the Americans (see Dodge Viper).

Thanks guys! Living in WI makes the driving season ever so short. I try and get it out on the nice days which are unfortunately few and far between when you have a family etc.

I still get a bit giddy when I punch the gas......the rush of acceleration is impressive, and fun! Just to be safe, I have a Blinder laser jammer and Valentine 1 on order
