lol, yea I did 142ish I was too set on looking at the road rather than the speedo, but I had the suspension low and good tires, wouldnt do it on a stock car
ORIGINAL: Jeff

i did it on stock brakes that had cracked rotors. but that was dumb. i had kick *** suspension tho so that was ok

I hit 125 on my way to class ( very late).... Anyone familiar with socal area near ocean beach... You know where the 8 starts by OB and its only 2 lanes... well from there to where it opens up to like 4 lanes is where i did it... It was early in the morning only like 3 other cars but they were all in the right lane...

I've done 135mph (hit speedlimiter) with stock suspension/brakes/rims. But the I have BFG Gforces up front, and Kuhmo Excsta on the rear. The BFGs are sticky, and the Kuhmos are a harder compond. I found the combo helps reduce the AWDs understear. Good times at high speeds.





LIFE GOAL 200mph

I hit 148 in my Integra, hit the rev limiter not a speed limiter in 5th gear.

the fastest Ive gone in the a4 was about 138mph, but only bc I hit the rev limiter......I dont know how everyone else is going so much faster. Are there different tranny's in the b5s?

I have a 2003 A4 1.8T. The fastest I got mine up to was 110, but I was scared of cops getting me, so I slowed back down to about 100. The car seemed a little loose at that speed. I have a sports package on mine when I bought it (which I assume has a stiffer suspension). I consistantly drive 95-100 on the interstate and at those speeds it is quite confortable. Seems to me like it only gets loose at 105+. While I had a loaner (2006 A4 2.0T Quattro) I tested the speed on it. I got that one up to about 115 but the roads in Miami often times has too many cars to drive this fast for too long. But what was odd was it was stock (non-sports package) and it was much tighter than mine, which has the sports package. Any ideas on that? Any way to make mine tighter on high speeds? Or should I even be going that fast in it. Nothing is more satisfying that blowing by someone 40 or 50MPH faster than they are going.

if its loose at that speed, you better slow down.

Sounds like something is off.

Suspension is wearing out, or alignment is off, or something.

How many miles on it? When's the last time you had an alignment?

If you are going to drive that fast, you want to make sure you are in tip-top shape.

Get some coilovers on that thing and have the car set up, before you crash and burn.

I wish we had roads like that here... but we do have windy roads that inmy 17 years of existance, i have NEVER seen one police car there

correstion...i ahve seen One. it was sitting at the end of the road where it T-bones another just pointing a radar gun down the road. Luckally i was going away from him and say him. if i were going towards him, i would never see him untill i crest the last hill. meaning i wouldnt see him till im cruzin at a good 90 in a 45.

yah thats whats good about the south west. especially new mexico and northern texas.

getting back to your previous post, my bro has an 01 a418 tip with the regular suspension. he hit 125 on the crappy chicago hghways and then musta hit a bump or something. went spinning around haha.. hes okay but his tires arent.

so if anyone attempts to go fast please make sure you have proper suspension and your car is at top notch.

i went 120 once and got owned by a cop.
