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.

good link Alex, I was going to post that.
Art, you are 100% correct  also, the car only goes that fast for a reason, any further pushing above the "max" can cause serious internal damage. It is designed to be a economy vehicle, not a performance machine
