top speed of a Carrera S stock!!!!
Tonight I went to the Panamericana...a high way road here in Buenos Aires...
I was with my 997s and my friend with his 997s too.......
my top speed was 286km/h and my friend 304km/h....
I didnt have too much room to reach my friends speed!!!!
304km/h or 189mph is the top speed???

The speed in 6th may be calculated as follows:
-At 1000 rpm, the wheels turn 1000x1/.88 x1/3.44=330.338 rpm(total gear reduction)
-Multiply by tire circumference(295/30x19) of 6.8ft =2246.3 ft per minute
-Divide by conversion factor ft/min divided by 88=mph to get 25.526 miles per hour per 1000 rpm
-At 7300 rpm rev limit, 7.3 x 25.526 =186.3 mph
This assumes that the car can redline in 6th(apparently they can). All of these conversions are linearly proportional, so speed in any gear, engine speed or tire circumference can be readily determined by multiplying/dividing the appropriate numbers.
The 50 mph to 180+ range in top gear is a real number, the car will pull 2000 rpm in any gear.
-At 1000 rpm, the wheels turn 1000x1/.88 x1/3.44=330.338 rpm(total gear reduction)
-Multiply by tire circumference(295/30x19) of 6.8ft =2246.3 ft per minute

Paris your top speed vs your friends top speed can be affted a whole by aero dynamics. If you have changed ANYTHING on the car, wheels, tires spoliers this will affect top speed.
I wish I had a place in the USA to do something like that...be careful!
