155 mph and that's it[:-]did you have the hand break on lol j/k many cars will beat that

 

I have no doubt that it’s capable of much more. I had to get out of the throttle @ 150. It was still accelerating. The question is: What happens when it hits the speed limiter?

it will either have a fuel cut(i.e. stops injecting gas until speed drops) or an spark cut(i.e. stop fireing plugs until speed drops.

 

Fuel cut I believe you just get this sudden sensation of a loss of power for about ten miles an hour. Although thats in my A6 so not sure on yours.

 

Chip it and don't worry about it

 

I don't know how accurate the speedometer is at those speeds but I swear we hit 160 in the RS6 on the Edens Expy (N. Chicago). We let off and brought it back to double digit speeds. From where I was sitting it looked like the needle touched the 160 mark. I don't believe the car is/was chipped.

 

I have chippedmy B7 rs4. It goes 300km/h. I drove it. That is 187mph

 

Which chip?
Who did the work?
Did they give rolling-road support?
Or, just chip it and tell you to come get your car outta the way?

edyt to add: BTW, 300km/h for a CHIPPED RS isn't a whole lot of speed. I had a BONE-STOCK Opel Calibra Turbo that went 280km/h. You've got twice the cylinders (with MORE than 2X the displacement) I had, more than twice the hp & tq, and ONLY 20km/h more speed... All I had was a bone-stock 205ps/198tq 4-cylinder w/turbo. I'd be a l'il p!$$'d if I were you.

 

Hi all,
From my experience of owning an Audi TT 225, Audi RS6 Avant, AudiRS4 B7 Saloon & currently an Audi RS4 B7Avant from new, none of them had been restricted/limited to 155mph from the Factory, so you would'nt have any problem touching 190mph in an RS4. I know someone that had been a Passenger in a totallyStandard RS4 B7, which went straight up to 175mph, with plenty still left in it.

I had a friend that had a Opel/VauxhallCalibra Turbo, back in the mid 90's, they were'nt bad Cars in their Class, speedwise,butfrom what I remember of it, the Speedometer was'nt very accurate at all, they were'nt very reliable, they did'nt handle very well& they lookedterrible, as the wheelbase was far to thin.I dont really think that people realise of how the RS4 is in a different league on performance, build quality & handling tomost'run of the mill'mass produced everyday Hot Hatches/Sports Cars.
