So .... where to next...>200 obviously?
no - i will run water injection and take it back but the s4 is where i want it - maybe 1 or 2 mph more and hit the limiter.

My S2 will have an S4 box inth enext couple of weeks but revs to 8500 - and a lot more power so i want to see what that does at vmax - just not sure the old thing will like 190+

I need to get involved!!

Seriously chuffed you took the lambo... makes me think I should squash one :)

I managed 160 in mine on 1/2 the top gear track which think is about a mile long, so like to think I could get over 180 & if I could pass a lambo all the better!!

awesome doug, good to hear the old S4 up there and beating newer cars costing over 100 grand!

its good to see what a well tuned s4 can do, especially if you have some balls to put it to the test - doug did it feel at all stable at 193mph?!?! to be honest i think i would cr@p myself!

well done doug and mrc!

It did feel very stable - the only thing was the old noise from the passenger door opening - drivers side was ok.

Amazing that an unlightened S4 can achieve such high speeds.
