300C Hemi tops out at 171 miles an hour bone stock.
had aftermarket coils, air intake, stock tires.
O and it also had the new 300C chip that just came out, smoother shifting on the tranny and raises the RPM a little more.
171 MPH not to bad for a get the groceries family car.
Testing was done at a disclosed location!!

 

it's nice to do testing sometimes

 

that's nice, but when a 106hp Civic (factory rated, most likely less) will do 130 mph bone stock saying that a HEMI will only do 41mph more isn't saying much... with most likely 3 times the HP.

A friend of mine did that with his civic at an air strip last year.

the old Civic (77 i think) did 120 in R try that ,on the raod in bc (do noy try ,you will crap yourself) the thinks we did befor we had kids

 

What's nuts is the old Porsche 911 turbo, first gear went to 83 miles an hour....

the 300c is alot bigger than a civic so not in the same class at all.
but it is impressive that it can do 171 mostly stock.

 

MY accent I bought for 3500 with 20 000 origonal on it in Oct 03 did 132 mph with 97 hp I think it wheighs 3300. I think the 300c is around 4200 pounds its amazing what you can do with some cars.
JUST REMEMBER SAFTY FIRST!!

 

At that speed most of the resistance is due to aero drag.

Aero drag is proportional to velocity squared, and directly proportional to Cd and frontal area.

So the comparison between a honda civic top speed and the 300 top speed is invalid by just comparing the mph difference.

Weight has nothing to do with top speed, it only affects the rate of acceleration (ie. how fast you can get to that top speed).

171 is freaking impressive. I have to do it myself to believe it though ....

 

some cars are set so they will not go faster (911,f1,Ferrari)

 

Yeah and Civic's are still an ugly azz car!
