I think that was not unusual in a lot of them in that era.. mine in 2007 read 350 km/h. Of course it could to do that but all of my cars had that on them:

You have a reasonably quick car when it does this to its brakes on track (since upgraded to Brembo GT 380mm). 685PS with 650ft lbs of twist.

Epic cross country. Comfortable too

So festive! Does it live on the street? If so, a proper used Porsche!

I'd love to have mine out the door ready for use, but it just gets too much damage like that here in London (witness my other cars, totally ruined after 5 years due to other's negligence. Mind you... I still think that fixing the bodywork would still be cheaper than the parking fees!

I'm covered with a set of Carrera III shoed with ContiWinterContact TS810S. A great setup btw

It actually lives in a private underground parking garage, but I leave it outside from time to time as I like watching it from the appartement
While it is not made of sugar and gets used in all conditions, sleeping with a constant 18°C in the dry and with no sunlight certainly helps keeping a car in good nick!

That's warmer than my house

Good evening chaps ( & Ladies ) of course. I’m thinking of swapping the PCM for a CarPlay Unit. The car is a 997.1 can anyone recommend any good units. I know nothing about them so any advice will be a help. Cheers.
