I guess they are all over the place. 171-176mph.
"My CSRT-8 has less than 200 miles on it, but I had the urrrrrge to try it out on an open freeway.....and voila, I was doing 176mph with absolutely no adrenalin rush, that is how the car made me feel like I was driving 120mph{except for the engine sound of course )
The car IS speed limited to 275+kph (around 176mph) because the throttle started going up and down to prevent me from going faster...Damn steady car at that speed that you feel you can do it again and again and again"

I cant wait to get one for my wife and I. You know Ported Performance Deuuuce? Awesome place. Here was thier last run with thier 300C SRT-8!

"We finally got around to installing the converter this week and the results last night were astounding.
60ft: 1.584
330: 4.606
1/8 et: 7.179
1/8 mph: 95.65
1000: 9.393
1/4 et: 11.280
1/4 mph: 119.12
This is the fastest LX car in the country and we are still NA."
They offer the ported intakes, CNC heads and many cam choices! I cant wait to have an 11 sec SRT-8. Then I'll pick up a used LS3/A6 Vette and my wife will have the SRT-8 to herself.

Splitting hairs here: Regarding 176mph - I'm on that thread: http://cobaltss.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28685
Speedos are notoriously inaccurate in the upper triple digits and the guy didn't use his EVIC vs. the needle, I believe. Also the redline of 4th is 172-173mph, after that a shift to 5th is required. The car then drops way too far out the powerband to go faster.
