point and I did not like behaviour of the S6 then, so I chickened out.
Also I did a true 168, not a speedo reading 168, the speedo read 173 mph

Something to cheer you up: My S6 speed governor has vanished! - avdh 2001-09-12 10:05:30 (2177 views)

Your RPM seems very similar to a 2.7t at the same speed. - captainbilly 2001-09-12 17:02:50 (644 views)

I was just thinking that the guy who claimed 170mph had to have at least 340HP - 2.7tdallas 2001-09-12 13:52:17 (404 views)

I think it was "0111" (?) 340 bhp on a 2.7T ? well the RS4 has 380 bhp out of a 2.7T... - avdh 2001-09-12 14:01:38 (393 views)

A6 2.7T with chip only mod can move 'fair ta midlin' - Ming 2.7T 2001-09-12 16:04:07 (524 views)

True - but you know how much more HP it takes to go from.. - 2.7tdallas 2001-09-12 19:19:20 (290 views)

I saw 0111's car for sale 2 days ago. I think the listing had a detail breakdown of mods. - Ernesto (ERT) 2001-09-12 15:09:54 (310 views)

Not without a bunch of internal engine work - 2.7tdallas 2001-09-12 14:24:45 (311 views)

I will ask someone who has the following mods - Ming 2.7T 2001-09-13 14:50:10 (347 views)

You're right it would take a bit more than just a chip to get 340 bhp out of a 2.7T - avdh 2001-09-12 23:51:56 (314 views)

Lots more work! - Chris Brown 2001-09-13 03:40:15 (344 views)

Audi used to do this in Europe (allegedly) when the press were previewing a new model - Chris Brown 2001-09-12 12:39:08 (372 views)

Holy Crap! 271 km/hr? Don't do it! One blown tire and you're toast....... - Chuck540 2001-09-12 12:10:11 (376 views)

Don't worry, the conditions were perfect, no traffic, wide road, no trees on the side of - avdh 2001-09-12 13:11:50 (327 views)

I'd like to hear more about using VAG-COM to remove the speed governor. - beerguy 2001-09-12 11:10:02 (516 views)

I do not know how to operate it. However, somewhere there is a setting - avdh 2001-09-12 11:43:10 (570 views)
