Yup, 160~70ish, stock. I have mods and have seen the high 160s and backed out due to the oh wow factor. I was worried about the rag top and the noise was tremendous.

Nope, that was in English... You can see the MPH blur in the pic (everything is blurred down and to the right)... I have a window valet in my car which records your top speed and I'll take a pic of the recall if you don't believe me...

I actually took that pic with my camera phone so both of my hands were on the wheel... I was just barely holding onto the phone with two fingers... fun times!

I have had my 01 a4 coupe up to a buck fifty. After that, you better be driving on glass. The " fasten seatbelt, prepare for takeoff" light comes on at that point.
