The Audi's governed at 130, so can't really test that......
I don't do that, just drag race....and only 2 times with the Geo. I sell Mustang, Corvette, SRT10, SRT4, and many other sets of rims and tires, Since the Geo is my delivery truck I wanted to make it look a lot sharper than it did....it does now. Even though it's my business I never realized until after the fact that I could have put on the 175x55x15s instead of the 195s....but that 3 lbs per corner less wt would still not be enough to let the car run 19.9in the 1/4 likw it did with the lighter ugly steel 13s.
