Default Have any of you taken your car 130+ yet?...

I did over the weekend. I was actually able to get it up to around 133mph but needed to slow down due to the fast approaching traffic. In any case, it's just as stable, if not more than my B6. Driving at those speeds is obviously not a smart thing to do on a regular basis but it is nice to know that you can and still feel relatively safe doing so.

I've done 220 km/h (~135 mph) but only briefly too coz I ran out of road. It is stable but heartpounding when one's not used to it yet.

I hit 130 but i was not able to advance past 130.
Did any of you feel the accelerator pumping back at you?
Anyways, I don't think it is wise to go beyond 130 because the manual says that the stock tires' limit is 130 mph.

Default 125 is my record speed in this car and it feels rock solid...I

I dont know anything about the stock tires maxing out at 130 mph, but since i took my 2003 A6 for a ride of 140, i would think the B7 could handle 130+.
