My C32 vs M3, high speed run...
I was messing around with a newer M3 in traffic yesterday, no real room for us to run the cars..... he would never slow down enough to get an even start... we ended up making a right turn on to a totally open highway....
again, he wouldn’t slow down, he made the right turn pretty quickly and hammered it from there.... I came out of the turn behind by about 2 cars from the start....
It was tough catching up to him, I had a steady slow pull and I ended up finally passing him at 140+ MPH, and yes, he will still on it..... I'm not sure what the M3 top's out at, but I felt my car stop accelerating and my digital speedo read out said 156MPH..... at that point he was about 1-2 cars behind.....
It's really amazing how smooth and stable the car is at such high speeds....

believe or not, i've reach 230km/h on a C240 with 168 hp only.
it has more to go... doesn't feel there is speed limitor compared to BMW cars.
and i can't believe how stable was the C240@230km/h... with cheap 195/15 continental tyres...

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati isn't limited either 
But in terms of ordinary sedans and wagons, I think the RS4 is the only on with an official 250km/h limitation, that doesnt have one
I know that the E55, RS6 and M5 have, I guess that audi just "forgot" to limit the RS4

the RS4 is soo much more of the performance machine that's even more limited than most AMGs.

I sold the JEEP.I dont have any real use for it since I have a durango for winter car.
The RS4, Im keeping, I love that car
I might get a 480hp kit for it.
Doesn't really improve the 0-62mph (only from 4.9 to 4.2).
But then the 0-200km/h time will improve from 17 to 12.9.
SL55 does this in 13.8sec according to track-challenge.com
