    I ran 178 & 182 (according to GPS and Traqmate) about 6 weeks ago (airport 13,500 ft runaway in central CA).. engine of my car is pretty much stock except for Diablo tune & Mopar cat back.. no power adders like many others here..

    Pretty quick to about 140.. a little longer to about150 - 155 and then a slow roll to the top end.. basically above 150 my car is flying brick.. stayed well planted with no handling issues... just make sure to check your ties often...

    I went 165 and it was still building. I think with a few more miles I would have hit 170 or more for sure.
