Hit 130 and cruised for a few.

Had the car up to 150mph in Germany, but it was limited at that speed. Realistically it can probably do 165 or so.

I didn't realize you could call BS on yourself.

130 mph in US cars 155 mph in euro cars, I hit 130 mph the other day in my US and I hated it, I am removing the governor asap, I have read somewhere that not all versions of A7s come with speed rated tires above 130 and that is why Audi USA decided to blanket cover all versions with 130mph governors, how often I go faster than 130mph not too often really but I hate that limited feeling, in my previous SL55 I was surprised by the 155mph govrnor that my 911 never had so I reflashed the computer, how many times I passed that limit? Maybe 4 times in 4 years but it was my decision not the car's and I hit a beautiful 186 mph, that was worth the reflash cost.

My guess would be that the A7 runs about 177mph ungoverned. The previous A6 model ran about that speed. Tried it myself on the German autobahn after the governor was taken-off.
