re: #89 teleskiguy

There was probably another few thousand RPMs on the tachometer before it red-lined, yes.

If you’d gone much faster, you’d probably have run into the electronic governor. That saves Audi on tires, since they can put in lower rated tires than the ungoverned car could reach.

My Challenger R/T has - so I’ve been told - a governor set at 145, because it’s sold with V-rated tires. I just put on a new set of Y-rated tires, so I could theoretically ask the dealer to take off the governor, but when am I gonna need 160 mph?
