The gearing alone says absolute top speed is 186mph (around there) for the current setup, but that is just bench racing.


As for standing mile v 80mph role, you have to remember the SRT is supercharged not turbocharged. We such much of our torque at relatively low RPM meaning the acceleration is much higher than at 80mph...momentum helps.

BrianBrave has already proven that you can get 160+ in a standing mile, don't think he ever said it was the top speed of the car...the mile just ran out.
