well i finally bumped the speed gov. it was pretty hard. the bump...i know most people say the cl falls on its face at 110...but the 3.5 continues on to the 147 mark ,and then sends you foward as the fuel cut says no more...this was on a toll road and i was having some fun with the guys i just golfed with in there lincon LS ...i put him 10+ cars back at one of the toll boths...i did get the jump ,but he still would have been back there..

 

Nice...How does it pull compared to a regular CL-S?

 

I got 147 in a CLS 2001 in ????forth????

 

I've got my TL up to around 140. Pennsylvania turnpike east bound, right before exit 24 there's a pit stop. After the pit stop is a mile worth of down hill. Had the car floored until it said 140.

However, w/ out that slight down hill ... I don't think that I would've made it to 140.

 

I got mine up to 145 this past weekend w/out any problems, in fifth, still had another gear to go, but i was told we are governed at 149...hmmm i really wanna know what our 6speeds will get up to...actually i was scared shitless, but dont tell anybody

 

Nice, I've hit 130 a couple of times, but it seems like getting that extra 10 or 12 mph would take just as long as getting to 130. Of course, being at about 5,500 feet altitude doesn't do wonders for the engines ability to breath either.....be careful out there,losing it at 130 or so wouldn't do wonders for your future!

 

word, gotta be careful, i got a speeding ticket like the 2nd week w/ my cl-s so i've been a puss about takin it to the limiter, but i've been in the 120ish range

 

I've hit 120 and the car was not struggling at all.

 

i did 145ish

 

I got my TL to 135 when I backed off...it got kinda squirrely which is why I backed off. From 110-130 the car had NOTHING...took as long to put those 25 MPH on as it does to get to 80 form the onramp.

 

not on the 3.5 it pulls pretty good all they way to the top

 

I' ve been up to 141 mph in 4th in my 01' CL-S...how fast do u think they would go if there was no gov.? That's just crazy...

 

Hey Haus?

Where in Colorado are you? I am in Colorado too right near south of Denver Have you noticed most of the gas in Colorado are only 91 octane? Hehe we should get some CL-S people from Colorado and hit that track near C470? I think that would be fun!

but seriously though.. Colorado got some reckless drivers and everyone seems to drive an SUV in colorado and they think they own the road!!

 

160 4 sure

 

jleelu - I'm in Boulder (not a CU student), but my folks live down in your neck of the woods (Highlands Ranch). Yep, the 91 Octane is a bummer, wish we could get 93. I've been told the engine automatically adjusts and it shouldn't cause any problems. I'd definately be down for hitting the track (Bandimere Speedway is the on off of 470). PM me if you ever want to get together for a drive, track day etc. There are a couple of other CO members here, but you don't see many CLs on the roads here. Your right, too many SUVs driven by crazed soccer moms!

 

I've been past 155 in my 540

 

I've had my '01 CLS between 140 and 145 before trying to keep up with a Ford Lightning. Funny thing was he was killing me all the way up to about 135 then I started catching up. Those things are a brick aerodynamically. It took a while to get there but once VTEC comes back in 4th its a little better.

 

I used to ride the limiter when I had the Acura at 147.

S4 is chipped so no limiter, so far 172 mph.

 

I got up to 147 mph on my 99 TL before.

 

Yikes, about 25 mph shy of 200.

Where was this done?

 

I was racing my friend's TT 225, on a big ass highway at 3-4 a.m. on a huge uphill part. Robb knows the highway well.

It was still pulling I couldn't see the TT anymore, still had a few hundred rpms to go in 6th.

 

Met a guy in NYC this weekend that has hit 197 mph in his stage 3+ S4!!! The thing is pretty much an RS4 now and he is not done modding it yet! I guess he did it on a road in LI where he knows some of the troopers there. He mentioned he had one of them clock him with a radar gun.

This was probably the sweetest S4 I'd ever seen! Had the RS4 bumpers and fenders with 255 tires on it. The car was silver BTW (not silverbullet from the Audi forums). I want an S4!

 

What's stage 3? Is that the K04 upgrade?

 

sorry AC...yes it is. I guess that, a chip, exhaust. I don't think he had a downpipe yet. This car was ridiculous looking! Only issue I had with it is that it was silver (very common S4 color). Blue or black would have been better!

 

138 in a 1st Gen. :P

 

WTF?!
