Just curious if before you guys hit these speeds, are you verifying that your tires are rated for 130mph+

I thought our A7s are governor-limited to 130 mph.

I had a 2007 A8 with sport package, I was very surprised that there was no governor at 130. on a long desert highway it easily hit 145 and was still pulling. I did not test it to see if it had a governor at 155 but I am sure it did. Matching tire rating to governor? I have not had a chance to test my A7 20" sport package. you really need to be in no man's land or on a track to test.
