Speed limited by Factory to 110 MPH, if you can get it up to that. The speed limiting is due to the Non-speed rated tires in most stock cases was H-rated.

I've got a 99 4spd automatic, and I know I've seen my speedo at 115. Unless theres a difference between a manual and automatic in that department, or I don't have a limiter on my car.

My automatic 2000 camaro 3.8 has hit the 125mph , i actually only hit 122mph and slowed down because of a distant corner but my gf actually hit the 125 on a straightaway and said it felt like it was still climbing !

I kinda fail to see the point of hitting such speeds though, I haven't tried to hit that mark since that one time, probly cuz it's 55mph all throughout Upper Michigan lol!

Back in the day i had my 2.8 above 115, mind you that took about 2 miles of strait road. I have also had my old 3.8 A4 Y87 car well into the 115-120 range the only mods where a wisper lid with K&N filter and a cat back exhaust. I fill like the car still had a little more to go

99 A4 here... Our cars are governed at 120 unless you have it removed. I can hit 125 at about 3 grand. I can bury the speedo before I hit 4. But I've got quite a few mods. Even a stock car would push the 125 range though. I'd guess around 130.

I have a 95 3.4L A4 with a homemade CAI, and I topped out at 136, measured with a gps accurate to 6 feet.

I don't buy that you hit 136 in a 3.4... Basically stock at that.

But you have to get it tuned out of your PCM Jonny.
