181
181.....previous runs to 165 and 170 experienced the rear end wiggle. On the 181 run had the suspension set in SPORT, it minimized the wiggle to almost unnoticeable. I drove through the wiggle on the 165 and 170 runs. I had planned on seeing what the limit was when I ran out of room.
Forgot to add was still pulling like it had plenty left; '12 GS with long tubes, no cats, A6 trans, VARARAM and dyno tune.

Many years ago in my 67 Vette it did 130 top end. It had a 327/350 hp eng.
The valves hydraulic valves would just float at 6 grand.
My Grand Sport did 140 before the governor on my right shoulder started tugging.

That kind of road would make almost anyone knock it up a few no matter what they are driving. 
When I first got my C6 I couldn't wait to go down that road.
