Wyatt you hit 112 with the 3.7??? I can see the boys running the V-8 hitting that number maybe, but I find that hard to believe. I've got the 3.7 as well and I could only top out at just hair above 101 and she was shaking all over! Do you have mods as well or just stock? I'm very impressed with our little 3.7 if you got that out of it.

I don't think the 3.7 has anything to do with the shaking. Might wanna have that looked at. My guess would be that whatever is causing the shaking is keeping you from hitting over 101.

I hit 110 in 5th gear at about 4750 rpms or so...getting ready for a shift in a few and BAM she turned off.

I think my shaking was from my crappy goodyear tires!! It was more like a slight wobble than actually shaking. It was a bit windy as well when I did it. But you actually think that both the v-6/v-8 will be limited too the same max mph? I thought it would even be different between the auto and the manual as well.

Hmmm...my uncle is a top mechanic at a dodge dealership in Indiana. Works on Vipers and down. I'll see if he has any info on this.
