A mid life crisis car is a S2K.

That guy even got his toys wrong.

I'll suffer with my modified RS6, and just live with the rest of the world laughing at me. Not many 4 door sedans doing 190 these days.

oh. For completeness sake. Here's a ZX10 vs. an RS6 on the autobahn

This is why we laugh at you:

laugh all you want. I built my nsx into a monster, and wouldn't trust it at 190.

Lol I sold my 2012 S4 I had the APR stage 2 tune with the pulley and test pipes (car was fast) but I sold it because mine truly was a piece of euro trash. Very unreliable the only reason I had test pipes is because my cats melted and my warranty was f@#ked from the tune (even after having my APR dealer flash me back to stock). I also started my car one morning and it stalled out and I got out of my car to find my drivway covered in a pond of gasoline! All in all I spent around 10k in repairs on that car and it was the first German car I had ever owned. Never ever again.

And 420whp... even the guys running 100oct tunes with the high boost pulleys and headers were barely getting over 400 and judging by your plate filler in the picture im going to say you have the Stasis tune (smart choice wish i went that route for the warranty) so realistically more like 360-370whp tops.

There is a large portion of FI s2k owners that could hit 190mph+ given the proper rear end gear ratio, hell the off the show room Ap1 with its 200whp will do nearly 170mph with a small tail wind

But with absolutely no side wind.

uhm yeah I don't think that would fall into the "good idea" category... change your gearing, and try it... see how stable a car is at 190 without well sorted aero and suspension for those speeds. My nsx has gearing, and power, to do 200. Above 170 it feels very light, and not inspiring. I've got great tires and literally every race suspension component made put into that car. It is aero'd for 170ish. Not 200ish.

I have another car i've taken well over 200mph many times. It is designed for 230+... it is so smooth and stable at 200 it's unbelieveable. Of course, it was MADE for those speeds. My audi i've had well above 170... and it was also very stable, but it was designed for those speeds.

Look guys i've got an S2k too. I've fully built it for the track (contrary to what myhui thinks of my garage contents) Would I trust it at 190? that's laughable.

I never said it would feel planted at 190mph
