I'd bet every single one of us sees 3000.

Yeah, I figured that. I'm just paranoid and I thought my RPMs seemed somewhat high. :-)

The RPMs ARE high. The S4 is geared more for performance than fuel economy.

Default How much of that data is empirical and how much is theoretical?

Has anyone here had their S4 over 150mph?!?! If so, where?

Default Open interstate let me see 161 on the speedometer; tach showed 6300rpm...

...and this was on a 98-degree morning on reformulated gas and the stock exhaust with what felt like another 5-7mph to go if given enough road.

Default Those are all calculated values based on wheel+tire size, and gear ratios.

I redlined 5th gear last time I was coming up from San Diego, on I5, and the speedo read just about 153 or so, so I believe the numbers
