Please don't chastise me. But in the name of science I took my A4 out on an empty highway near me yesterday. After some test runs up and down this road to nowhere, looking for speed traps. I tested to see if it was indeed programmed not to exceed 130MPH. At 135MPH I felt my question had been answered. At that point I asked myself, "What are Y rated tires good till?" At that point I let of the gas and two mile later I was back down to 75MPH, it felt like it could have gone faser, and the car felt great.
