Drag.
Assuming a more-or-less constant drag coefficient, drag will vary as the square of velocity. Thus, the resultant power needed to overcome this drag will vary as the cube of velocity. The standard equation for drag is one half the coefficient of drag multiplied by the fluid mass density, the cross sectional area of the specified item, and the square of the velocity.

Lol I was messing with a Benz e63 AMG and he kept going and I couldn't!!! Lol... It was a blast. EXTREMELY DUMB AND DANGEROUS! Pissed me off but made me love my car more taking the curves of the highway at 140!!! Benz Had to brake!! Or he hit some lose road and got scared and ten the rest he slowed Dow. The first curve he got squirly and broke lose a little!!

6th gear at 6500 RPM is 168 mph in the DSG, and 169 mph in the 6M.

Ya I believe that.. 5.5k rpm at 140 and that's all she had!!

you need to lower the car or get a k04

Yes. I def need to lower it! And get stg3 That's happening this summer. Just salty I couldn't go over 140!! Still handle the bends like a champ though
Euro-spec GTIs (same gearing as US-spec) have a top speed of 149 mph @ 6000 rpm. They are limited by drag, not gearing
Top speed on my late '92 Civic VTi was 146mph (GPS) with just 160bhp, thanks to the B16's ability to reach 8,000+ rpms in top gear. FYI, Hondas aren't speed governed.
Something's wrong here. You should be able to go past 140mph with Stage-2.
