    The fatsest i ever heard was a few mags got it to 189 mph on the autobahn. Chipped is a different story.

    BTW does anyone know, how acurate the RS6s speedometer is at high speeds like 160 mph?

    It doesn't sound like a BS story as much as an exaggeration. Nordschleife and Erik (as well as many others on this board) have way more autobahn experience than myself but even still it is truely difficult to maintain those kind of speeds. Here in the States the very fastest I've gone was an indicated 164 when the governor kicked in (in Germany the car I drove was able to reach an indicated 276 kph before said governor kicked in). I was certainly in both instances not able to maintain those speeds for but a few moments due to simply the laws of physics (bend in the road, eventual cars that show up, etc...).

    I believe that there was serious speeds involved but more likely was 130-150 for half hour straight with speeds approaching 200 at some point (afterall, said RS 6 is modified).

    It's BS. Read the guy's posts on Audi World. He's a troll there too.

    LOL!!!! whatevers dude. All I care is that I have no points what so ever. It did cost me quite a bit, but it was all worth it (after you do the math). For local So Cal members, if you ever end up being stuck in a situation where you recieved any type of speeding ticket, I "HIGHLY" recommend Sherman Ellison. He'll invite you to watch how he kicks ass in court! Worth every penny


    Erik, Please do all of us a favor and close this thread. Seems like we have carbonlord Jr. Any more post on this thread is a waste of space. Thx.
