What's up 6g!!! I have a ST which 140 on the dash. I know that cars have restrictors on them and stuff, but damn I topped out at like 120mph. I found this out when I was on the highway racing my friends hemi powered Charger on the way to a business meeting. You guys know who won that one. :
 I was wondering if the ST was supposed to "cut off" at that 120 mark or if there is something wrong with my car.

there is a hard limiter at about 115-125mph depending on the size of your tires. Not all speedo's are perfectly accurate... but yes... it is limited. The car barely has enough power to make it up there anyways... hehe

I was beginning to think that no one was out there. If I got someone to take it off would that hurt my car? |

If I got someone to take it off would that hurt my car? the actual rpm limit isn't much more than 120mph anyways... and I don't reccomend you doing it or anything. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
