I know many of us will likely never push our cars to the absolute limit and especially their top speeds, but it was a little disappointinging to see such a low top speed for the Manual. My 5th gen A6 ZL1 would hit that speed easily as I have actually done it once and there was still more power on tap.

I am wondering if that 173 top speed had more to do with the car not being properly broken in? I am hopeful that the A10 can get into the mid 190s. I will take it to the Salt Flats to try it at least once so I'm looking forward to it. We know the A10 will at least hit 181 (on an incline at that)

I wonder how the CTS-V which is heavier, has less power and appears less aerodynamic has a higher, 200 mph top speed?
