    Some Challengers owners who take delivery of new cars are often shocked to see that their cars have been "driven" up to 160-185 mph.

    There is no salesman who took your car on an insane joy ride. In the Brampton factory, a cluster bench test is performed on rollers to test the guages after assembly. The dealer is supposed to reset the top speed performance page, but this is often overlooked.

    I have only been to 95.
    And, I don't plan to need to go faster...just QUICKER!

    2 weeks ago I was checking out the acceleration from 80 to 100. Oops, by the time I looked at the speedometer I was doing 110. That's enough for me....right now, anyway. I do want to locate a track I can take it to in order to see what it will do.
