What is your top speed in each gear with an A6
My question is what are the top speeds for the different gears and does Traction Control/Comp Mode have any effect on the speeds vs RPM's? I have read similar posts on the MN6 and my top speeds I think are higher in some of those same gears.
I have been shocked at the speeds the car goes in second and third gear. Could the car shift up autoamtically to compensate for me not shifting. I am able to run many DE track and autocross events in these two gears. The RPMS are between 4500 and 6200 but I have not exceeded 6500 that I am aware of. What happens if you exceed the 6500 RPM redline?

It will just hit the rev limiter
I found it faster to stay in 3rd and hit the rev limiter at our local track
