Funny...just hit 100k this week too, though not memorialized in a pic. Note sig - more than a million miles in Audis. This is my 11th over 100k.

While nowhere near the highest A8 total mileage; My lowly '04 with a 4.2L V8 (only 330 HP) now has just over 231,000 miles on the clock.

To answer the speed record question, here is a screen shot. Also click on my screen name and look at my Bonneville photos where it took place. One photo there shows it maybe 1 mph faster another 4/10's of a mile up the playa.

Wow...nice! What was necessary to give you that margin above the 132 governed max speed? Even my A6 with the 4.2 is limited at 155.

The speed limiter for North America is a joke. Audi claims they do this because they install less than the vehicle's capability speed rated tires to save buyers money. LOL. Does anyone who buys one of these new care about saving maybe $200.00 vs. top speed?!?!
I went to: www.unitronic-chipped.com and to their closest dealer and had it done in under an hour.

That was right after the limiter was removed. Just showed being able to pass 130. The top speed was not reached until Bonneville this Summer. There is another video (at night) showing what happens when you hit the old limiter before I had it blown out.
