I was lucky enough to win a ride in this car in '98. We did a run on a quiet country road starting off at low speed in 2nd gear. Initially it seemed fairly docile but once the revs got up and the turbo kicked in it went mental... I was buzzing for weeks after that!

Not Bad for a Jelle Belle Ahhhhhhhh!

I also have a 930 turbo, with motor modifications, 400+ hp. I pull around 295km :-)

I got mine up to 165+mph on the I-15 north of Vegas. Didn't plan on it. Straight freeway, no other cars in sight. It was as stable and sure-footed as your living room couch. No dramatics at all. If it wasn't for the engine scream, and the scenery blurring by, you wouldn't have been able to tell how fast it was. Great Friggin ride I will always remember though.
