150 indicated in my bone stock URS4. Only mods were good tires and a removed speed limiter.
it was dumb. very dumb. I had a passenger.
at about 145 he just said "It sooo smooth, almost too smooth." we could have had a quiet conversation and not spilled a drop of coffee... it was like riding on glass. I'm sure if you were sleeping in the back, you wouldn't have even woken up.
fun now that I'm not dead.

145 in the A4 and had room to a liiittle more but the way its geared it sounded like i was getting
pretty close to the end. What's the deal with rev limiters on our cars as well. I know pretty much what they do but how do they work and is it bad for the car or what?

I made it to 145MPH on a deserted highway in my GTI VR6.
The GIAC Chip removed my speed limiter. And I had a little help from the Trans Am WS6 in front of me that I was drafting....otherwise the car doesn't want to go much above 140.

Ok, modded makes more sense. I'll bet they changed the gearing as well...
...like a one tooth down on the countershaft sprocket and a couple teeth up in the rear. You'd EASILY see 180mph but really be running closer to 150mph. Even with a new cam, pistons, head gasket, and ECU there's no way a 636 would make enough power to hit 180mph. Actually, if you tell me it had a turbo and nitrous, I'll believe you were REALLY going 180mph ; )
