Default Actually, it is...

Imagine that your car's top speed is limited by its power.

That means that at top speed, your engine is deliveing it maximum power to the road surface, just as with max accelleration. Loose surfaces might not be able to sustain greater than a certain power/weight ratio.

Default That's a pretty cool club, although I'd go for 150 if I were you :-)

In all honesty, with a chipped 2.7T, you can hit 130 on a clear, crisp day on the freeway without too much effort. Some people might say that's unsafe, but that's all a matter of the conditions and your comfort at that speed.

That's a really neat idea having speed traps and such set up to prove you did it. Would be good to see some Audi representation there as well!

Default I've hit 133 before, and my 2.7T is bone stock.

But then again, I was on pavement and I had more than a mile in which to do it. Go for the 150 club!

At the extremes, you're probably right. But this is sandy salt, not ice.

I'd like to run 150, or at least go for it on a 130 run, but @ 140 your day is done if u go 4 130.

The 150 club looks intriguing. Might make me pull the trigger on an Ultima GTR. 8-)

Default This is way more fun....
