It was 186 mph, but I didn't kick it down till I was about a mile into the 2 1/2 mile straight. I would have went till I hit 6,200 RPM but there is a 90* curve at the end of that straight, I think I was at around 5,800 or 5,900 RPM. I had my old 04 coupe up to 148 on that road and that curve comes at you pretty quick at that speed, so from experince I let off the SRT 6 a little earlier than I probably could have. I went into that curve right at 100 MPH in the 04 coupe, I didn't relize I was going that fast and it scared the crap out of me. I took it at 90 MPH in the 04 coupe once on purpose and I don't see how I ever done it at 100 MPH.
