I think 5,850 is the stock limiter. My friends 94 Vette M6 seems to bounce off the limiter there as well, so I don't think A4 and M6 have a different limiter RPM.
Some people here I think go 6K on their stock motor and haven't had a problem.
My tach is right on up to 4K rpm. I haven't tested above that though. I don't feel like slowing bringing it up to 5500 so I can watch my scanner heh. And bringing it up fast means I have to drive fast, and I'd rather keep my eyes on where I'm going then.
