AudiRS6sport,

Wow, thats what i call reckless driving!

Didn´t you recognize you were driving so fast?

I´d never do that, i´d be afraid of loosing my driving license!

Be happy that it was dismissed, what would have been the punishment?

Sorry for my english

**audirs6sport** · October 1st, 2004, 08:05

Under VC 22348 section b, 2pts on DMV, license suspension, 1600 dollar fine, and possible hand cuffing on spot. If the D.A. doesn't like you, he/she can possibly bump it up to reckless driving, and give you a misdemeanor for it. Just for the record, I was actually doing 200mph+, but I slowed down

It didn't feel like the car was moving really fast at all. Maybe just because I'm used to it.

I knew what my speed was. I just think that it's never fast enough, that's all.

I was on the way to dubwars 2004 event, and would have been 2 hours late if I traveled at posted speed limit. I used to make it to Santa Barbara from Orange County in one hour. I decided to say "F%#$ THIS." Long story short, I was doing at least 180mph for about half an hour or so. I approached this nice loooong stretch and just went for it. That's when i was doing 200+mph. Roughly about a mile ahead, I saw the chp parked on side, waiting for another ticket to write out. My ValentineOne was on All BOOGY MODE, but didn't go off. The moment that I saw him waiting from that point, I was already down to 70mph. When I was pulled over they stated that my speed came out 160mph on their radar (maybe there was another cop around that was hiding as well). I said just give me my ticket, and we went our own ways. After reviewing the citation, I gave my traffic attorney a call, and he said, "Yes, I can get you out." I said great. Paid the high premiums, and here I am. Zero pts on my record.

Congrats on getting off. Your V1 was on, but it didn't register? I can't imagine going that fast, especially in Southern(?) Cal. Your car must be chipped to have exceeded the speed limiter.

I got my first ticket with the Beast on the 4th of July on the Mass Pike clocked at a mere 81. The cop would have let me go if I was at 79 (or less 65 mph zone). I didn't even bother going to my attorney since it was out-of-state for me. I just paid it. Hopefully there's no reciprocity.

Too nice story.
I think 180+ for half an hour would put the car into limp mode and over 200mph is not realistic, unless you have sportec 600HP tuning (or stage 3 B&B)....

Maybe you were doing km/h not mp/h

**audirs6sport** · October 3rd, 2004, 11:47

Maybe you were not aware that stock RS6 without speed limiter does 200mph. For the record, my RS6 is in hell no F%$ing way it's stock if that's what you're thinking.

And, yes, the specs that you read on the internet shouldn't be based as facts.

Simply not true, unless it is down hill in winter and the maximum rev limiter has been adjusted.

**gjg** · October 3rd, 2004, 21:25

speed governor on my rs6+ is set at 186 mph (299 km/h) ...

I seriously doubt the car (plus) will reach, as delivered from factory, 322 km/h - 200 mph that is ... no way in hell. let alone the stock rs6.

what speedo shows may be another story, try to use gps to verify the speed.

gg

**audirs6sport** · October 3rd, 2004, 23:17

Yes. I was referring to speedometer reading. NOT GPS speed measurement.
"what speedo shows may be another story"

it's not "may be." IT IS different than what gps will tell you. Unless some how you had your speedometer calibrated that it reads "EXACTLY" what your real movement speed measurement is.

200mph on speedometer is about 175mph on gps.

I don't have a gps unit available to measure the speed. Yes, my rev limiter has been adjusted as well.

which state might that be?

Because there are other ways to fight it without you or your attorney having to travel at all.

Not for me. I've used my handheld GPS while on cruise control and it's usually the same as the speedo or close, maybe off by one or two mph. But no more than that.

Anyone really experiencing differences as great those as you cited is having a problem with one instrument or the other.

**GmbHouse** · October 4th, 2004, 16:31

200 mph +, 180 mph for a half hour, no points and you can discern a cop at a mile!! I call BS on this story.

**audirs6sport** · October 4th, 2004, 22:34

It's amazing how you guys are even bothered to think that it's a bs story, while I'm sitting here EXTEREMELY happy that I have no points so far and maintained my driving priviledge.

I currently have ANOTHER case going on, which is a misdemeanor as of now, for Speed contest/ evading from the police. I wish that I could think the same, and hopefully none of this EVER happend; and wish that it really is a BS. That way I wouldn't have end up spending 10g just on legal services!!!

This is not true. Go and see your dealer to fix your speedometer.
