Top Speed?
Maybe you guys can help me with this since I haven't done it yet. Whats the top speed that a stock WS6 can do before redline/governer goes on? I been told from 145-160...does anyone know it exactly or what have you guys had your cars up to?

i've been up to 140, with the 2.73's and an A4. i don't go too much higher because of the RPM's.
it all depends on the tranny and gears, but 155 is no problem for an M6

Red Tint Jewelcoat- 2008 Trailblazer SS
I would have to look at the stock program again....but I think it was set at 162MPH for the governor on the WS6.
I dropped mine actually. To 140MPH. It will never see that speed at the track, so no reason to see it on the street.2008 Trailblazer SS

I dont there is a good reason to test it unless your running from somebody....... ... .. .
145 is the fastest I have been before chickening out. 120 is about the fastest I go to impress people.

My auto would limit between 147 - 152 (always kicked in somewhere different)
Had my M6 155-165.. kinda tough to keep glancing at the speedo at that speed though, but never hit the limiter before I let off.
