Actual top speeds

[Sachelle Babbar <sbabbar@iris.nyit.edu>]

Of various Audi models, most specifically, the 5000/100/200 series, what
are the actual (not Audi brochure) top speeds. I have a dealer service
training manual and is says the top speed of a n/a engine is like 106mph.
I've pinned the speedo (probably 125) on premium. It says the turbo will
do 124. Last year, I did over 140. I'm sure Audi when testing did higher
speeds than this. What is the reason for this? When did Audi start
putting top speed governors on their cars? How much does insurance play a
role in this? The funny thing is that my Audi is more stable at triple
digits than at double.
