I've only claimed to hit the 186 mark . The SRT 6 hasn't been driven since the end of November, it's time to get it out now that all the salt has been washed off the roads with all the rain we have had around here in the last 2 or 3 weeks. I done some searching on the net a while back trying to find a place reasonably close where a guy could do atop speed run leagally and didn't have any luck. I even called a retired State Policeman I know that lives just down the road from me and asked him if any of their places where they done driving training was capable of renting or something. I explained to him what I was wanting to do, he said when they started getting the Stangs & Camaro's they went to the Brick Yard. He suggested to do what I did on a open strech of road with no side roads onto it early in the mornings. He grew up just off the high way where I done the 186, he asked me how fast I'd had it and I told him a little over 180, then I told him where. He laughed and said he use to drag race there when he was younger, he also said thats about the best place to attempt high speed runs. Would you be satisfied with a picture of the speedometer when I get the ***** up enough to give it a shot, that is if I'm not too scared to take one hand off the wheel. I seen SRT6nulsa had posted a picture of a speedometer reading 200, I'm guessing a photo-chop.
