[QUOTE=ALVETTE00;1574533477]2.73 equipped cars won't shift to 4th, so top speed is reached in third. although I thought it would still get to low 170's.
do you recall you RPM?
At 6000RPM with a 26.5 in tire you're caclulated top speed should be about 173.[/QUOTE]
173 is the figure I see most as the "quoted" top speed for an A4 coupe.
The 163 the OP spoke of is right about what I have seen many post as what they got their similarly equiped cars up to, you may want it faster, but you certainly dont have a problem they way it is
135 ish is all Ive had the space to get it up to in a safe place, someday Ill get some track time or a larger space to at least break 150 ish. That would only be to answer the inevitable question everyone asks . . ."how fast have you got it up to" . . .
....there are probably a lot of cars that get to 130 ish, not sure how many break 150 stock, but its probably a much smaller number
Dont get to drive like that very often, but I wish I had a dime for every time Ive been asked the "how fast have you . . ." question. Im sure I could pay for a nice mod if I had all those dimes
