Not a good idea to post a link of your top speed. I think they just arrested the guy doing 219 in the Lambourghini.

I would say 150-160 isn't a stretch for an LT1.

I could tell you 100% for sure what my top speed was but i pegged my completly stock 96 SS out and my best guess would have to be between 160 and 165, huge rush no doubt but theres no denying that im a damn idiot for going so fast without any kind of protection, not on a track, no helmet, no roll cage, just a stock camaro and a country road i try to keep it on the track now

I tried it one time and one time only. I hit about 152 and she was still going at 5K. I would say 160 is tops for an A4

145-150 following a GTI and watching its rear end hop back and forth with every tiny bump in the road with a TSI talon behind me. I'll deff agree that the cars are built to handle the 100+....felt like nothing at all inside the car, looking outside and just watching stuff fly by was a different story. But It's not gonna stop me....addicted to speed...what can i say.

I have only had mine up to about 130-135, it was still pulling though. I like to go down the expressway at about 65-75 and then punch it all the way to about 120, that is a nice rush..lol. Sometimes I slow down to about 50 if no one is around. Anybody else get a ticket for going that fast...I have only one in my old piece of **** acura integra, 48 in a 25.

Got my Hot Cam Engine to pull atleas 160 with 3.73's in the back..

This new one does 155 very easily..I believe that I could see 200mph with it.. I think it would pull it off.

I can see it coming very, very close..it's got the Aerodynamics and it's light with the proper amount of power and gearing.

You are right around the weight of a new z06 and have more power to the wheels than one, so why not? At least in theory, did you get that dyno'd yet?
