How solid does it feel at 130+? Back when I lived in Colorado, a buddy of mine had an S4 Avant (2.7 biturbo) and with 4 of us in the car in the wee hours of the morning, we we cruising at ~145mph and it felt solid as a rock. Granted I was in the back seat, but we felt glued to the road... not that I would have suggested aggressive maneuvers at that speed!

In the US, the speed limiter kicks in at 145 mph.
I've hit that many times. I know for sure that if it weren't for the limiter, my car can hit 160 if not more because I had plenty more to go on the throttle when the limiter kicked in.

135, felt very solid. Was not nervous at all, with exception of worrying about my license so I didn't hold it there long. Had plenty left too, so if not for the limiter I could see reaching 160 with no problem.....
