Friday night around 2 Am took the baby up to around 145ish and then down to 120. Hopefully in a couple of months when the chip is installed I want to get it up to 160mph.


The feeling of doing 140 omg amazing.

 

holy crap my a4 couldnt touch that

 

Dude its a feeling i can't even describe lol I LOVED IT!!

 

damn, someday ill feel that speed when i get my S4

 

me> yeah come on 1.8T you can do it!

motor> yeah with upgrades, you dumbA$$

me> LOL

pointless, just bored

 

Um guys, I've had my stock 05 S4 up to 160. Did you try to go above 145? Either my speedo is totally whack or maybe you just didn't have the space to completely open it up.

 

Sorry. before I replied I should have asked. What are you driving? What year S4?

 

My 2000 S4 does 151-152 in both stock and chip mode with an APR ecu. 6th is really geared too low in my opinion. The car is real stable until 130-135 but wind noise and crosswinds become a big issue over that. If you pass anything going that fast it is probably a good idea to keep both hands on the wheel. Regardless of mods, the best acceleration you will get on the highway is between 80-120, after that it seems to slow considerably.

The speedometer on my car is pretty accurate but will sometime read up to 5% high compared to my GPS. M3s governed at 155 will easily read 165 but when actual speed reaches 155, you will hit a cutoff. Lamborghinis can read 10-15% off at super high speeds as well. Just something to consider.

Good luck hitting 160. The cars are really great but keep in mind that it will take a long road with little wind and probably more than a chip to do so in a B5 car, the B6 felt more aerodynamic to me so you might have better luck if that is what you are driving. Over 145, I would estimate that it takes a mile to gain 5 mph in our cars so plan accordingly. Regardless, be safe and keep the V1 on.

When I got to around 145 I had to slow it down because there were a few cars coming ahead and I didn't want some douchebag to just cut me off which is not an unlikely thing where I live.

I didn't really know about the speedometer not being accurate so thats def going to be something to keep in mind next time.

 

I agree with what MrEDs4 said... I have done some modding to my 04' A4 1.8T and have reached 137mph, but you will need a good bit of open road... I have Goodyear F1 GS-D3's 235/40/18 on my car and it handles very well even at higher speeds, but doing damn near 140mph's is something else... I still had about 1200-1500rpms left before redline as well, but didn't have the room to go any faster, plus I don't really feel like abusing my baby... I'm getting a new turbo installed next week! Can't wait!...
