I hit 155 out in far west Texas but only when nobody was in site, but I did it in this. Not sure I would do it in my Durango.

Update:
My 2014 R/T limits me to 120 even
Hard to find the room to go above 80 around here but I have hit 100's in the tunnel at like 3am (not saying which PA cop is around here somewhere haha) and same on the pkwy...

I tuned DD out to max at 125, I think the top tune was bet 135 & 145 (one day maybe!)

I think the '13's analogs only go to like what 120?

Question

So after reading so many talk about other vehicles. I decided the other night to test my other car to see it's top speed. The manufacturer stated that it was limited to 152 and it was accurate. So on a local freeway at about three am I confirmed it. Here's a pic of my other car. http://imgur.com/8vv5qsY (I hope that works)

Shame on you. I just saw a story the other night on 20/20 about stuff like that.

Just for the record.......now that I know what you do for a living and where you're at. If you ever pull me over I wanted it to be clear that I swear my license plate was attached to the front of my car when I left the house this morning I don't know what happened to it it must've fallen off or it has been taken by some hooligan....

I completely understand. I get that quite often. As I am a firm believer in karma, I am pretty forgiving when running traffic. Unless you cry, then the pen hits the paper. I can't stand crybabies.
