210+ mph for a Porshe Turbo? Seems a little fast. It can do 190, but not much more than that! (unless you mod it, but who would mod a $120,000 car?)

At the point in time you are spending that much money on a car you are more than likely an enthusiast, and enthusiasts as we know generally like to mod their cars.
