120mph speedo-really??

posted by  someone claiming to be Phil Punxsutawney on  Sun Feb 3 04:28 CST 2002 [RELATED]

When Road & Track tested the 745 TURBO they gave it a top speed of 115 (est.) meaning that even they were unwilling to put up with all the buffeting to see.

So I doubt any 240, even a 240iT could make it to 120, at least on pump gas and at sea level.

At altitude however, since a turbo doesn't care, and the air resistance is less....so MAYBE a 240iT at Rocky Mountain National Park ...downhill ....

Or there's always NO2...
