Default How Fast?

I know this has been coverd before, but how fast have you guys top out your A4s up too?


Last night I ran it to 132mph with no downshifting, just rolling off in 5th. I was still climbing but corners on interstates come really fast at 132mph. I was only about 4900rpm and was climbing fast, so I think it could get close to 140mph.

I've had my 1.8t showing 143 or about that on the clock, speedo is well out at those speeds but it got up there pretty comfortably. Nowhere near the top end pull of my old 6 cylinder BMW but not bad for a 1.8.

~130 is the top speed for a non-chipped A4 right? Are your tires rated for those speeds? That could get ugly.

Yeah I think theres something wrong there, I dont know if i could do 143mph and im chipped and modded. Jest is right,if your tires arent rated for that things could get REALLY ugly REALLT fast. Dont quote me on this, but i think i read somewhere that the apr chip gov is 149. But i doubt it would even make it there.
