yeah
and lightnings don't have a speed limiter. also i think the lightning was tested int he summer, and we all know how much heat kills our power, and the srt-10 was tested in the winter.
I know alot of us know that the truck will go past 147 mph..........from experience.

Why does anyone really care that the L and SRT-10 can do 140Mph Plus? There is no where you can actually drive it that fast (in the USA...........gotcha Andre') and just think of the carnage if you had a mechanical failure at that speed. 100Mph is fast enough for me, and that is crazy.

100 is only 2/3 the speedo. Silly SVT! I want mine to go to 160. That way when I hit the tree at 157 I know it! Does the SRT speedo go above 140? I can tell you I feel a huge difference in the outside temps being 110 or 75. It was 75 right after we got the pulley and stuff done. Man that was nice, a real kick in the ***. It was 100 
the next day and every day after that, boooo I want my boost back! It's 85 on my way to work at 7am, it's 105 on the way home at 5;30 I can't frigging win. Except for 2:30 am high speed passes. I want it to cool off, My milage and power are missing right now.

I never put times of any of my cars in my sig. But if you all must know the srt went 13.6x @107.xx this was in the middle of summer. 2.2 60' was the best I could muster, hard as hell to launch.

Sorry guys, I have yet to run mine. In the Five years I owned my '99 L, I only got it to the track 3 times.
Last time I was at the track was with my Syclone last October'ish (?). It now resides in Texas - Sold it this past July.

I think that the SRT would have done better ET wise with a slushomatic like we have.

I hit nearly 140 at the California Speedway on every lap.
