B.i.l has one. I didn't find it uncomfortable at all, I'm just a very bad passenger at speed. If a pair of Omegas were leaving a 911 in their wake, the driver doesn't deserve to be driving a 911.  ;)
Last time I saw a young 911 driver, the car was going backwards at high speed heading for a duck pond in Epping Forrest. In fact it was going backwards, then sideways, then forwards, then sideways, the backwards again before the big splash.  ::)

And no the convertible ones dont float, Ducks didn't seem that impressed either as he forgot to switch the stereo off before vacating the vessel.  ;D

I never drive fast, being a model citizen

Yeh right.  ::) ;D
Remind me, who had to go on a speed awareness course, Mr YZ250?

:P ;D

Mine was at VMax 155 without the LC spoiler, I lost 10MPH with it fitted....

I think we both know that our driving styles are not that dissimilar.  :-X  This will cheer you up then, yesterday on the Eastern Bypass, me daydreaming, camera van in lay-by and me no see him.  ::)  Will have to wait and see .  :(

As to the OP's question, I'm saying nowt. People with four numbers after their name makes me nervous. It reminds me of collar/shoulder numbers.  ;D

I would never ever admit I have been speeding but I do know that Y26SE Oemga auto will throw fourth speed in at 200 km/h.

Had a indicated 130 mph on my old pfl 2.5 manual saloon and it was still creeping  :-* :-*

Both the 3ltr and 3.2 estates get up there quite a bit faster but have not pushed past 120 in either tbh, and that was only for a few seconds.

I must take a trip to Elvington again sometime  :D :D
