Talking got up to 160 MPH today

was driving on a nice striate highway uphill got up to 155 and felt the limiter slowing me down but right when that started I hit the top of the hill and started going down so it slipped into 160 in under 1 mile. it was pulling hard all the way up the hill so i know if the limiter was off it i would be able to get 170 180+ might even get 190+. It was grate i have it on vid just trying to get it off the cam and onto the computer. oh and it was still running smooth as silk

SaWeet! I'm just afraid to put up a video of how fast I was going because the highway patrol may have a field day with it!

There goes the assumption that our cars are aerodynamically limited to 150mph

I guess that answers a question of mine , I have a Limited and had the speed limiter removed when I did the ECU remap (it was set at 158 mph I know because I hit it) but I had heard the SRT did not have a speed limiter but since yours did there is my answer.

speed like that is great don't get me wrong, and I have done my fair share of shanagians. But if you mess with her long enough she always wins. Just keep that in mind

I drove the road a few times up and down it was a 4 lane highway that for some reason not a lot of ppl use and took my time making sure there was plenty of room where no cars were in front but 160 catches up to even cars going 65 like they are standing still so i didn't hold it for that long at all like 1 or 2 sec my hart was beating so so so so so so fast. wasn't able to look at the vid that was posted for some reason . and yea i don't ride like that on a normal basis the fastest i have ever drove that car before was 125 and that was down another highway at about 3am on a Sunday morning so the road was completely dead and i wasn't paying attention I thought i was still going the speed limit it actually scared me. Had no idea it was dark and with the windows up soo quiet. But that was before i got my new Beltronics STI Driver Radar Detector. (I will take pics and post it here the install was sweet and you cant tell its in the car at all). But anyway now that i have that every lil beep makes me look down and check my speed. I'm sure a lot of you guys and others with this car knows if you touch the gas just a lil you can be going 20MPH faster in a blink and wham a ticket

That is even more amazing than the pic of the deer going through the grill of a BMW and stuffed in the engine compartment.

Be careful out there folks... we enjoy your company..
