Ya know everyone needs a totally impractical hellishly fast car that you can honestly say you own "just for the fun of it"
I am waiting to see if they actually build the challenger, if they do I will have to buy one.
I built a T'bucket with a Hemi in it (back when you could still buy a hemi )for the same reason. It aint practical and it's a pain in the ass to maintain.. but what fun!

20 mile long straitaway that is smoothe. was doing 139 with
a fiero gt. another time 120 with a 71 eldorado. and recently
125 with the MKVIILSC. never seen a chp or sbcs(san bernardino county sherriff). the only things that drive slow are the RV's going to dumont dunes.

The challenger is coming trust me, it should come out late this year possibly not until early next year but good luck even seeing one at your local dealer. Everybody and their brother has enquired about ordering a challenger, some even before I seen the concept car, and I work (sometimes)Originally Posted by Goose
for a dealership.

I have a hard time believing that the factory left the speed limiter that high myself.Found this pic on the net, the guy swears it's utterly true

Are the factory tires rated that high?
If they are not then you know the factory wouldnt leave it that high.. but who knows.. maybe Mopar is changing.

There is no speed limiter on Chryrsler SRT vechicles.

Well then.. the only question is did someone have their head in his lap at 160 mph..or was he multitasking and taking the pic himself. cause in my limited experience..135 is hauling ass in a spectacular fashion.. such that I was totaly uninterested in anything but driving.(of course this was a 70 bigblock corvette and we all know there is a huge difference in road manners
In any case.. a factory production anything that will run 160? hot damn!
