Had the SRT on the road yesterday and pushed it to somewhere between 145 and 150mph and it was great.
It's been 6 months since I have travelled over 100mph.
The new tune actually pulled harder than before.
I can't wait to see what it can do top end.
These cars are a rush...

Yes, and at 173mph (my fastest) it still has the gumption to keep right on going...

 

That's not fact until a video is shown, you've told fibs before.

 

Ah, Fibs shant pass thy lips.
I did say I hoped for over 186mph by last summer, but that never happened.
We'll see about that this season. I know it will do over 185

 

Be sure to video it!

My best (so far)

160

 

Damn, DJ, I thought you rolled over there for a minute....

 

Nope.
Just runnin' outta road and had to slow down real quick!

 

DJ, you need to find a longer road to play on......

 

SaWeet! I need to go on a real roadcourse someday!

 

I'm Jealous!

 

Be careful that a missile defense radar over at the airfield doesn't lock onto you!

 

Speaking of the airfield. I did 120 on a portion of the runway in my cop car (retired Camaro B4C). It was night time and as I crested the little rise on the runway I came up on a herd of deer! Thank goodness for brakes! That would of been hard to explain!

I'd love to get back out there and use the whole field (two miles) in the SRT!

 

One of the things I miss about living in AZ is the many places you can test the capabilities of a car! Can't do that here with all the 200 lb deer that like jump out of nowhere.

 

Well, I haven't unleashed mine here yet, but I do commute at 100 mph on the A8 between my town and work in Stuttgart. Soon I will be going on vacation further from the city and will be able open it up.

 

180,
your buddy is back.....it was only yesterday.......

 

Speed ah yesssssssssssss. Woody




Watch a

Barracuda with a Viper V10 under the hood go up against a Ferrari

Enzo:




LegendaryMotorcar

Company built a Super 'Cuda for SEMA and then decided to find

out what it could do. The car is stuffed with engine and

rubber: A twin-turbo Viper V10 with at least 1,000 horsepower,

along with 345-series, 19-inch tires in back. The only place

they could think of to test it properly was Chrysler's Chelsea

, Michigan proving grounds. For good measure, the folks at LMC

brought a Ferrari Enzo along as well.

Needless

to say, in a straight line drag, the Super 'Cuda owns the

Enzo, but the Enzo prevails in top speed. The green monster

and its turbine howls raced through the air so quickly that

the windshield molding came off ( Chrysler built, you know)

and the hood lifted by three inches. Aero like a

"BRICK"!!

The car was designed for the Autobahn. none here.

 

A Supercharged AMX (driven by Craig Breedlove) Ran an official 189 mph back in 1968, and unofficially went over 200 mph. Using a mostly stock suspension.
AMX-perience 1968 AMX
Don't tell Peter Klutt, he doesn't care much for AMC's.
Wasn't there a forum member from Colorado who posted a 185 mph run some time ago?

 

A group of us here saw that car in person last year at this Car Show :

Steve Plunkett's 2010 Fleetwood Country Cruize In


There are almost 20 Crossfires going into that show this year.

 

Was that Steve Hellums that posted the 180+ run. I thought he was from TN or KY.
