Porsche driver caught doing 300km/h

DoreSlamR · 03-09-2008, 08:05 PM

Just heard on the news, a bloke driving a silver Porsche just got caught doing over 300 km/h south of Perth.

How stupid and irresponsible can you be???

Just saw on the news here in Perth that Police alledgedly clocked a Porsche at 300 on the Old Coast Rd. Now this road is a piece of you know what, it's narrow and bumpy and has numerous fatals on it. It's not even a dual carriageway.
They gave chase and set up a road block. He tried to do a U turn at the road block and stalled it.
Police arrested a 30 year old man from Margaret River and seized his car for 7 days.
300 what a , I hope he goes to jail.

This can't be right.

From all my media knowledge only under 21's in V8 XR8/SS's and sportsbikes can do 300kmh.

There must be a mistake somewhere.

Geez old coast road. Could of atleast done it on the main road.

Yeah, thats a shocking piece of road.

Bring on the new Perth - Bunbury Highway!!

I am sure the magistrate will let them off as ' the car was designed to do it ' or some such thing.

300 is a pretty serious effort.

mrgun · 03-09-2008, 08:27 PM

The cops actually gave chase?

Must have mistaken him for a P plater.
Oh wait not Victoria right...

300km/h deserves an APIA discount...

a 300kmh porsche is one of the serious machines, he will have dollars .. anyway, it will be interesting to see how it pans out.

probably a car detailer from some prestige vehicle shop going to pick up lunches in a customer car lol

Fair302 · 03-09-2008, 08:49 PM

Back to reality, It prob was doing in excess of 200km/h but 300 ??? First there aren't that many cars that will get to 300 and on such a road??? Plus how did the cops verify? Got to love the media.

blueoval · 03-09-2008, 08:50 PM

crush his car

there are a couple but as you say, never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

There's not a lot of details as of yet, they mentioned it right at the start of the news as he only just got caught.

I'm also a bit skeptical on the speed he was doing. It's damn near suicidal doing that speed on that stretch of road.

MITCHAY · 03-09-2008, 09:04 PM

Plenty of people can get up to that speed. Whether they get caught or not is another thing.

300km/h is the new 200km/h and not hard at all to achieve with the performance of today's cars.

Ives · 03-09-2008, 09:10 PM

Awesome. That's a good effort.

mcnews · 03-09-2008, 09:14 PM

Poor bugger. Never done 300 on four wheels, two wheels a few times but not on four. Wonder if he will loan me his Porsche for when he loses his licence :-)

Really do tell, because I drive a relative fast car and have driven fast cars and in places where you can push the speedo along a fair way (Autobahn) and I must be a real girl because I find that past 250km/h things move along quite rapid.

Nikked · 03-09-2008, 09:25 PM

lol @ 300k/mh, prolly got to around 230 odd. On the discription of the road, and the fact that only a few porsche models can reach 300, it sounds like BS.

Pedro · 03-09-2008, 09:34 PM

Obviously there were'nt any speed cameras ... that would have slowed him down ... well that what our pollies tell us, so it must be true. Right??

he stalled it? he sucks at manual

Fev · 04-09-2008, 09:04 AM

well yeah they move along quite rapidly but when your can get a porsche 911 turbo/GT2 doin 330 maxed out, or a AMG Merc doin over 300 or a M3/M5/M6 doin over 300, also the ferraris, lambo's, Spykers, Ascari's, TVR's, bentley's, RS4's, RS6's.. the list goes on of cars that will do it easily and alot of them you see on the road alot
