gti6 high rpm flat spot

[adam b]

I hit the end of the speedo on the autobahn on a downhill. Couldn't get a totally flat section but generally around the mid 120s to 130 I think but then that's indicated speed rather than actual speed. Don't think you quite hit the limiter, just reach a point where you can't overcome all of the drag forces eg. air resistance, friction, hysteresis in the tyres etc.

I saw an indicated 140 in my completely standard rallye on the autobahn. Was then flashed out the way by a diesel touareg.
Hit the limiter when it was a v6 at 142 on satnav, now hits top gear limiter at indicated 134, should be about 126.
