Default [Video] 0-155mph speedometer close-up

Hi,
It might be interesting for some of you, what a 100% stock 2002 A4 Coupe (3.15:1), export-version, can do when accelerating off the line to about 156mph.
- 2 persons on board
- Fuel 75%
- A/C on
- AH / TC on (I did not have the best launch…)

Note: As this test was performed on a German “Autobahn”, it was 100% legal!

->CLICK<-

100 km/h = 62 mph
160 km/h = 100 mph
250 km/h = 156 mph

Cheers,
Johannes

Good, now that I know what it looks like my curiosity is satisfied.... no Autobahn here, although I did travel it last Feb. in lousy conditions, it didn't seem to slow many folks down though!

The camera was fixed on the steering-wheel (useing conventional tape).
---
Nobody was switching the DIC (it was set to oil temperature and automatically switched form ASR (Traction Control) back to the temperature).
---
It is a very quick STOCK (!!!) A4 – it’s even quicker than my modded MM6!

Greetings from Germany,
Johannes
