Mine will do 147 and thats it , took a while to get the last 6-7 MPH out of it .
At that speed , tach was pushing red line . They also get a little light at that speed . I wouldnt have wanted to keep it there .

Ive hit 160......... Sometimes it shuts down at 140 thought, and throws a code but if no code then it will go all teh way to 160 it takes about 10 miles but it gets up there 150 to 160 is a very slow climb

I did 155 today showing a guy who owns an srt 4 the car can. I woulda went to 160 but it takes to much effort and road going from 150-160. Plus tires I have on right now aren't rated for that kinda speed to dangerous to keep doing it but I wanted to prove something to the srt-4 owner.

it doesn't get anywhere anywhere near the tach at 147 mph more like 5300~rpm here's the video to prove that inside my car.. and they do not feel light at that speed. it feels the same at 145+mph as it does at 70mph

if you're going to blatently lie about something, make sure no one has already posted videos about it

Like selfinfliction has said and his video shows 145mph is easily achieveable and the car is no where near redline. I myself have held my car at a steady 148-149mph and like he also said it feels very stable.
