whats not right? maybe your car doesn't have stock gearing..or the tire size is taller than stock. are you sure you have 3.23s and not 2.73s?

It appears to be in the ballpark to me. Why do you think there's no way that's right?

Look at 4th gear in the higher RPMs....171mph at 5000rpms in 4th?

What's wrong with that?

JDJP

iTrader: (2)

cause Ive been 155 in my friends z28, he had 2.73s and it was almost at redline.

My thing is my speedo is off, so I can't tell how fast im going. And I have a good streatch of road out in the country, and want want to see what I can get it up to.

So if I get it to 5000rpms in 4th gear ill be going around 170?

That doesnt take into account aerodynamic drag.
That is why those numbers appear high.

You wont have any HP to pull that high in an overdrive gear.

JDJP

iTrader: (2)

you mean I won't get to 5000rpms or 170?
So when you try to top out an A4 car your in 3rd gear?

RaNsOm

iTrader: (2)

you'll be shifting out of 3rd into 4th around 144mph, but your gonna run out of steam around 150-155. The car just wont pull anymore. You need major horsepower to overcome the drag speeds that fast will cause.

JDJP

iTrader: (2)

so ill get to about 45-4600rpms in 4th and stay there?

RaNsOm

Pretty much.

The one time I went 155+ I was hitting some sort of limiter in 5th gear, I switched to 6th but the car just didnt have enough power to accelerate in that low of an overdrive gear. Im pretty certain you'd run into the same problem at the top of 4th in an automatic going 150+.
