I would guess at least 180 or more, though I never saw anything on that one. Go figure, more people have an automatic Corvette but the magazines rarely ever test them. Also, I don't know if the 2.73 would have the same top speed as the 3.15 geared A4?
Hopefully someone can help you out with this. I'm Sorry nobody has responded.

I know what you mean, you just need so much road. Where I live it would almost be impossible in my C6, My Z06 is a different story... I don't have the aero mods for the kind of speeds my Z06 can achieve so I wouldn't even try it if it was legal.

I remember reading that it has some front end lift past 170 though. The C6 is a safer car to do a top speed run in. Haven't had the chance to try it though; I only do things like that in places where I am convinced that it is absolutely safe.

I prefer to express it as Mach .24
Remember to fold the mirrors in! LOL
Oh yeah, and the tire pressure must be changed over a certain speed.
Check the manual.
