Curious as to what everyone's top speed is for their Dodge Chargers (including Charger Hellcats).

And.. go!

Had an R/T that would reach 140 easily with pedal left but that's all there was room for.

The first time was with the original suspension and tires...it was ok, but eh. Turns out car came with 130 rated tires (I was a bit upset) even though the speed limiter stock is 155. Once it got better tires, SRT suspension it was rock solid.

Wow that must have been a bummer to find they were 130. Glad the suspension feels great once you got the tires changed. Thanks for sharing!

Bummer wasn't the word...I was pissed that I bought it with the wrong tires on it...tire cords unraveling at that speed makes for a bad day. Thankfully I hit it and slowed down immediately.

There will never be autobahns in the US. Americans simply don't have the lane discipline for it to work. Grandpa would be cruising along at 55 in the fast lane, and then act surprised when someone comes about behind him at 155.......

My gearing is 2.65:1, a strong 140 with pedal left, I set my governor in HPTuners to 141. She loves it up there.
Very solid with Bilstein's. Tire speed ratings are determined when loaded close to maximum allowed weights for a certain period of time.
Provided psi is properly set. So if you go 142 on 140 rated tires don't panic.
