Of course if you really want to go as fast as the speedo you have to go get an Orange one. Its not called HEMI Orange for nothing!

Thank you for all input on the car.
So does the Challenger srt8 have a rev limiter or will it do what the speedo says?
Of the 3 colors which have the less production.
Is the black ones really slower ? haha I know they arent so should I go silver .
Thanks again guys .

It doesen't have a "Rev limiter" but a fuel cutoff at the red line of around 6300 rpm I believe.(maybe 6500) I know mine ran right up to 150 mph this morning on the beltway to work at 4:20 AM. About 2/3 rds of a mile from a roll on 65mph. Feels really solid at speed when accelerating too!!! That damn SEG is becoming a real problem at dinner time!!

Silver is the least common color. Orange is the most common. I dont know about a rev limiter, anyone pegged the throttle yet? But I do know that the SRT8 does NOT have a speed govenor. The top speed is limited only by aerodynamics.

It has a govenor, but its factory set at 180. You have a rev limit in park or neutral of 4200 that drove me nuts! Now I have no limits in any gear. I have set a RPM limit of 6500 rpm in case I fall asleep at the wheel doing 160.... Hate to over rev while I'm in REM. :-)
