I read on here that the C5 dose not come with a top speed limiter. What's the highest # that any of you have seen on the HUD. Mine is an A4 04 coupe. This ought to be fun. [Devil Eek] [Devil Grin] [Devil Wink]

163MPH with some left to go in the car the driver was spent. Started to wonder what I would say to the police. A4 with 315 rear headers intake ported tb. The car can handle high speed straight true and tight. Fastest I have ever gone in a car.Probably could have gotten to 175 with larger gonads. Divided highway late at night no one else around. Not recommended [Devil Eek]

As far as I know it does have one or a max speed limiter...

Like the video of the ZR1 I recently saw topping out at 205 MPH. [Devil Smile]

A C5 coupe will do mid-170s. [Devil Grin]
Z06 and Conv a bit slower.

C6 Coupe will go mid 180s.

Mine did 173Mph on the I15 late at night with no traffic around-I assume could`ve done a bit more but the Headlights must have created some DRAG-was gonna capture it on camera but couldnt do both at that speed so I decided to drop the camera and Hold the wheel instead-was fun but wont do it again I think, at least not unless its on the track [Smile] I did 165 on a two lane highway straight line (Las Posas Rd in Camarillo)before I hit a red light....no traffic/late nite

135 is the fastest I've ever gone in either of the C5's I've had.

150 going thru the sugar fields in west Palm Beach County, then I wussed out. I didn't like the dips in the road.
