My tires top out at 112mph (snows). I have yet to over 100 in my car because usually i have one of my friends in the carand Im not legal to drive anyone yet, so if I speed I'm f**ked. I can't wait 'till summer going up to Vermont where there are great places to top it out.</P>


If you are gonna speed, i recommend not exceeding your tire rating.</P>

i belive my limiter is at 130-135 but i know it can go a lot faster...in 4th gear i've hit 115 before my tach limiter came into play. i have not taken the audi past 125 yet. the fastest i have gone was in my 92 saturn sl2 the needle was bouncing off the 130 mark (highest it goes)and still going. that run was a little scary...verry bad brake fade

i think limiters came into play in the mid 90....so you should have no prob in your 86</P>


is the 5000 series noted for haveing a prob with the throttle getting stuck open and not being able to slow down?</P>

yea this weekend i went 152 in my buddys 95 m3, that was about the scaryest thing i have ever done, it was on rural roads, and any slight bump the thing would jump like crazy.

i also topped out a chevy corsica 3.1 V6 i think it was a 93. the speedo only wnet up to 85 but i had it pinned for a scary long ride. flARE is right that stock engine was very fast. it was only a three speed auto, but very quick of the line.

S8 went to 130, uphill, then comin down pushed past. Got a vid of it somewhere around here, I'll see if i can find it.
Too bad she's limited, and I dont have the funding to work on her. </P><edited><editID>Gr8S8</editID><editDate>38112.6598958333</editDate></edited>

I went past 130 before but I feel bad taking my car so high into the RPM's.

im my a4 ive easily hit 130, fastest ive gone with the governor raised to 180mph(not removed using revotec) i got it up to 149mph almost going into redline, was going to do another pass and see if i could hit the magical 160+ but i had a bad wheel bearing from hitting a bump or something during another 100+ run and worse yet the Illinois state trooper was out in the chargers, not a god mix since it took me some time to hit 149. im pretty much done with speeding though, i found out i have cruise control.

Cruise control works well at 150.;)

cruise controls just my way of keeping my foot of the gas,although i dont see why it wouldnt work at 150.

I had a 1991 Chevy Lunima 3.1 and it was governed at 112-115. Pretty fun car actually..super reliable...Anyways my 4.2 is limited at 147...Haven't got her up that far because of space and common sense, but I have bumped 125 on a stretch of I-90. My Lexus is limited at around 135. I don't think that car has ever been over 90mph. I also have a 1980 Dodge D-50 4 banger...topped out at 82...Its a powerhouse....lol [8D]It hauls my dirtbikes and the occassional trip to the dump and thats it. Its nice to have a little truck for hauling stuff.

mine tops out at 130 and i've gone 127 in it with a friend who also likes cars. we would have topped it out but some traffic was comming up like half a mile up so we slowed down.

captnmorgan
03-14-2007, 01:40 AM
topped out at 135 or somewhere close to that with the palmoar run and out to borrego springs. flat 5 mile 2 lane road. we'll see what it changes to when i get chipped...not very much i bet haha

I'm not really a top speed kind of guy, I stick with twisties, but I was w the new girl this past friday, and after a canyon run, ther's a flat straight farmroad/hwy and I ran it up to 125, and that's the fastest the audi has gone...The fastest I have gone was on a Kawa Z-750s, topped out at 175! (I am pretty sure that was a once in a lifetime thing, If any of you ride i am sure you have noticed that if you sit on the gas too long you are going 140 and don't even know it)

You mean BEFORE the po-po pull me over and write me a bogus ticket for 101 in a 55 (when he KNEW I was ONLY going about 85-90), or after?

Before: about 85-90...

After: ??? Iount kno, they KEEP pullin me over, damnit?!?!!?

Happened last night, on teh way home from a 14hour work day[:@]
I'm gonna start a thread just for tickets...

Warp 3 ;)


Only if the flux capacitor is operating correctly and you can generate the required 1.21 jigawatts of power. Great Scott!!!


Sorry, I just watched the movies a few weeks ago and couldnt resist.:D

AWDaholic
03-16-2007, 05:28 PM
^^^you've got them mixed up, mon frere... You need a stable warp field, basically a cohesive TSC (time/space/continuim) bubble, to travel at warp speed. Flux Capacitors are used for time travel. The 1.21 Gigawatts is necessary to power the equipment needed to instantly open a tear in the very fabric of 4th dimensional space and close it behind you. Warp fields can ONLY be used for time travel if/when you combine it with teh intense gravitational forces of a class "C", or bigger, Sun, such as ours.

What'd you, skip class that day, in SFU (Space-Farers University)?

i took my a4 to 130mph before it cut off....
i took my friends chrysler srt8 to 175mph before it cut off
the kicker, i took my friends M5 to 190mph and it still hadmore to go.....

Took my 98 A4 V6 30V up to 130 untill it cut out.

Felt like I wasn't even on the road, like floating above it.

Kinda scary, think it's because my tires are rated for 137.

That's kinda weird.... I played with an Outback the other day and went a little over 140 according to my Tomtom... Is the speed regulator something that can be accessed by Vag-com?

promethus
08-24-2007, 08:15 PM
No i think taking the govener out is a major op.

My friends dad had the govener takin out of his $100,000K porsce 939 and now his tack dosen't work.

I'm pretty sure it's a mechanical limiter that need's to be disabled (part of the tranny), not an electronic mod.
