Default RS6 instrument cluster?

After getting chipped, i'd want to see on the odometer that my car is going up to 200mph, is the RS6 cluster compatible with regular A6 wiring?

I think someone calculated gear ratios and it's doubtful you'll get over 160. Less with the tip, especially as it explodes.

I knew someone was going to say something about the tip. But it would still be nice to see 200mph on the odometer, lol. The 6-speed can do over 180 though, right?

In theory, redline 6800 rpm with 6th gear ratio of 0.68 and the final gear ratio of 4.11 on a set of 235/40/18 tires will net you about 184 mph; however, I doubt that 300 crank hp will get you up to 6800 rpm though...

And I say don't even try. Your tires will blow at 140+ and someone may end up in a local news... Lets just say I "knew" of someone...
