Well that must be one strong motor, 'cause for tires oversize enough to
put the speedo off 15+mph at 130 (which would reduce your effective rear
end ratio), you'd need to be making 325+HP

Subject: Re: DML: Actual Top Speed of an R/T (sixer doing 135)
It's totally possible....I got my truck up to a little over 130 once
when i
was racing a toyota supra (non-turbo of course). The only reason I got
it that
high was the tires were larger than the computer was programmed for....I
was
doing 130 and the computer THOUGHT I was doing 115, and then it shut me
down
:->
When I pulled off to the side of the road (by the way, I beat him by
about
half a hood length) I had to ask him how fast we were going because of
course
my speedo was way off. That's when he told me 132MPH, then added the
comment
"Trucks just shouldn't be this fast!!"
Long live the Dakota!!
