110 yesterday. Wanted to pass up a Z28 on the highway, he wanted to race. I kept up with him and never left 5th, once i got to 110 I deemed that it wasnt worth the added risk and dropped back down to speed limit. He tried to provoke me for the next 100 miles by driving just below speed limit to get me to try and pass him again. Morons.

Update: during last weekend's trip to Germany the speedometer was at over 240 km/h (149 mph) and the GPS showed 254 km/h (158 mph).
I wish I had taken some pics, but I was a bit too nervous to take my hands off the wheel.

140 for me, or at least I think 140. Noone was on the road so I figured, 'what the hell.' I didn't stop accelerating until I saw that the gauge was peaked at 140, so I figured I'd better back it down. 
I honestly don't know how fast I was going. I wasn't really paying attention to the spedometer, so I could've been going past 140 for a while before I noticed it. I did notice that the hood started to hover though, kinda freaked me out a bit, but I'm too stupid to let something like the worry of a hood coming off stop me.
This was about 2 weeks after I got the car too, before I had done any serious modifications. I imagine a c pillar scoop would've been trashed had I tried it now.

My dad did over 140 in my car but ive only done about 85. im 17 and on probation for 6 months one ticket and im done for 60 days. I could take a picture with my speedo maxed if you guys would like. and you can do it 2 just change the gear ratio's thru your diablo or sct and you dont even have to speed to impress people online

140 but shut it done when I saw the hood flapping and thought it was coming off. Hood pins in my future!! I think 160 is possible but hard to do on local freeways. Don't want my car towed!

Took my 6er to 100mph on the 440 once....
Now, with the undercover R/T's out there....it's real hard to get over 70 w/o looking in your rearview....in fact an R/T just got a person on my way to work today.....
So if you're in the NYC area, on the 440, keep a look out for navy blue and black Charger R/Ts - they're out there....

I have to behave myself this time around, so I've only done 130 once(in the rain so no worries about LEO's), probably won't do it again on public roads. I really don't see the point, after doing 160+ many times on bikes and other cars, its just not worth the risk of being caught(I got busted going over 100 a few years ago, it sucked). I also don't trust the hood, my 01 would go right through 150 with no issues, I was feeling a lot of aero drag at 130 off the nose with this car. No hood lift that time, but on a very windy day I was doing about 100 and it was lifting badly, and no way am I doing hood pins. Of course I say this now, its **** easy to break 100 running out 3rd gear, but I'm getting on a conservative kick lately.

Our cars are pretty flat in the front and hood extends past the grill, I bet that catches alot of air! Something like a corvette would be much ore aerodynamic I bet.
