I know it's been said that the SRT6 would redline before it reached 200 MPH, but at 186 my tach was hitting 5,600 to 5,700 RPM if I remember correctly (at that speed I was just giving it quick glances), I've only got 14 more MPH to get there.
if you hit 200, I''ll send you a drink coupon at red lobster or whatever the hell restaurant is open in the polar boonies you live in!

Wouldn't want anyone here replicating that Ocala BMW high speed crash because they don't realize what happens to braking distance as speeds climb up into the super extra-legal range.

I have two tickets I'm fighting now - I have to be real careful for while.

If I can beat one ticket I can go to traffic school for the other. I might beat both. I think I smell a K40 Calibre Radar Detector in my near future.

How do you like the SL55 intake setup? Did you mount them like I did or figure something else out? Do you have your engine cover on? Did you go with K&N filters?
I purchased the Prosport - "Green/White Performance" Electric model. http://prosportgauges.com/green-whit...ost-gauge.aspx There's some picks in my gallery
Enjoy

Oh and I'll try to take a picture of the speedometer too, if I get ***** enough to hold the steering wheel with one hand .
don't ignore intelligence. has 200 been hit yet by anyone with credibility?

If you use the calaulator I'm posting, for every 60 mph you would add 2 mph to your speedometer reading, so when my speedometer reads 180 mph I'm actually doing 186 mph (tach was at 5,600 to 5,700). With my RENNtech kit my redline was raised to 6,200 RPM, so I think 200 mph is obtainable in my car. To bad I don't have a brother or best friend driving a state cop car with a radar, I would rather be clocked with a radar so I would know the speed without question. HEY bikecop .

it would be intersting how accurate the speedometer is on the SRT-6 at this speed...

In my opinion it is impossible to reach "real" 200MPH with a SRT-6. In KM/H this means 321,67!! I don't know the correct air-drag-coefficient (0,37?) x cross-sectional area (the right word for German "Stirnfläche"?) but I estimate, you need at least 500HP at the crank, if not more, to reach "real" 200 MPH. You can compare with other high-speed cars...Nevertheless the SRT-6 is a great car and very fast

Re: 185mm Pulley Install
SILLY SILLY GUYS. You want to check the speed accurately??????????? The government has a FREE PROGRAM that will tell you your speed with in tenths of a mile per hour without cost and without any hassel. All you need do is turn on your GPS and monitor the ground speed readout. This works any time of day or nite and is accurate as a person can do.........Woody

The speedometer will be off by a percentage, not an amount, this percentage will stay consistant at any speed. So no need to do any one handed, camera shots with your poor wife weaving through traffic behind you
