Default A4 top speed calc.?

Anyone done this already? Can somebody punch the numbers in for 1.8tq non-dbw? I don't have the info available here at work.

PS-If you don't know this site by now, go there and download the Gumball video in the street racing section. Best video I've seen for insane street driving.

Default What RPM's at 150?

Curious as i've never gotten close to that. I may have gone 130.



TIA

Default S4?

What about the S4? What is the stock gearing good for if you've got the power to run it out?

you just need your speed limiter removed. ie, chip it.

Default a steep hill facing downwards and no brakes.

well...if you leave it in neutral after 150 you probably can get more =) i've only gone to ~130 in the A4, and didn't keep track of where the tach was.

tach's at ~7k rpm in the MR2 around 150 though =)

Default No Way

I don't believe it. 150mph is freakin' movin, and I don't think a chip (approx. 200hp) is gonna do it in an A4Q

Default okey dokey

i went 147 when i just got my chip, so dont tell me you need more power. just a chip on 01's was 207hp at the time.
wheel size is also a factor. i was on 17's. had i been on 15's maybe i could have hit 150.
now that i have an exhaust, updated software, etc, i still can only go 147 because that's where my gearing stops for me.

still dont believe me? dont ask a question if you cant handle the answer newb.
