Not that I need it but WTF.

Only in 6th gear?

Default On the B5 cars you can change the speed limiter for FREE via a program called Lemmiwinks.
It's made by Revo. Maybe something along those lines will come out for the B7 cars.

Default I am suprised they do this in eurpose. I know for the BMW CSL to get the limiter
removed you had to have a Racers License and sign a contract/form saying that you would not use the car on the raod.

Default Since there's no limiter in the US spec S4s, why would there be one in the RS4?
Has anyone tested this yet? There is a vid of a guy in a stock B6 S4 hitting 170+. I'll check my hard drives to see if I can find it.

Default These all been taken via the speedometer which is not accurate unless GPS confirmed.
I don't think anyone has done any true 160+ runs in a stock B6. If you know of any, feel free to post it!
