re: top speed

[Eric Harman <ericha@wrq.com>]

I sure haven't done this, and according to the Mag reviews I've seen on 
my car wouldn't be possible without mods.  

'91 200 Quattro (20v)
R&T estimated top speed of 150, C&D? said it was 149
Per R&T: 
  redline is 7000 (have I seen this quoted as 7100 elsewhere?)
  RPMs@60 in 5th: 2480
  estimated speed @ 7000rpms: 169mph
  R&T says that at estimated top of 150mph it's turning 6190 rpms
