Fast is relative, Hemi vs. Hemi

I find it amusing you guys think a Hemi Charger could not do 150 mph with your calculations and assumptions. Turns out the Charger was a 12.5:1 Hemi with an unknown cam. I used to run the 64 Barracuda up to 140 mph every month when I lived in South Dakota. That was with a 273 and 4 speed, not stock. The car was stable and could have gone faster. I was aware that if anything happened at that speed, I'd be gone, but I was in my 20's and invincible. Where I wound it up was nothing but flat pasture land, so the most I would take with me was some fencing. A drag race car is different from a high speed car. You should put down the calculators and book specs and build and drive something. If you talk to some of the old timers, they will tell you that a good Hemi would do 425 hp with one plug wire pulled. Race hemis, were also under rated. However, I do agree 200+ mph was NASCAR territory.
