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.

my gt got up to 127mph and i didnt top it out, i was scared a cop would stop me, so i kept it at 120 (i was late to my admissions test to college, and i was 2 hours away from my destination wit only 1 hour of time and made it in 1.15). i was on a kinda curvy desert road wit no body around. and i can say the car was really good at handiling those speeds, i wish it could go faster, i am actually pissed it doesnt go faster than like 130 is my aproximation. i think the engine can go faster if we had a longer or an extra gear, and id love that.

You're right. The engine doesn't really determine top speed - the gearing does. That's why my '95 Auto GT went a little faster than my '99 5-Speed GT. BTW - My car was extremely[u] stable on that banked S-curve at 133MPH. I did it again on the way home so that I could enjoy it rather than trying to take a pic. I steered it with 1 finger through the worst part of the switch back on the S-curve. Effortless. And yes I had my hand poised to grab the wheel in case there was any problems. --------------------  |
