What is the top speed of the Dodge Charger R/T?

My car club is planning to go to an open track day at a nearby racetrack. I’m pretty psyched since I’ve never driven that fast before, but I realized I have no idea what my car is actually capable of. What is the top speed of the Dodge Charger R/T?

The
Dodge Charger R/T
can go from 0 to 60 in just 5.2 seconds, reaching a top speed of 155 miles per hour.
Track days can be super fun, but they can also be a little overwhelming when you’re new. Here are a few tips to help you prepare:
  • Before you head to the track, make sure your car’s maintenance is up to date. Get your oil and brake fluid changed and make sure your tires are in good condition.
  • Secure personal belongings inside the glovebox or trunk. You don’t want to deal with an unexpected flying object while you’re taking a turn at a high speed!
  • Arrive at the track with as little gas in your tank as possible. The racetrack will have a fuel pump with race gas available for better performance.
  • Let your car idle between laps to prevent overheating.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions! These events usually attract drivers of varying skill levels and often include an optional performance driving lesson before you start.
Keep in mind that your regular car insurance won’t cover damage that happens to cars on the racetrack, so you’ll need to add special track day insurance to protect your vehicle in the event that it’s damaged on the track.
Track day insurance isn’t cheap, but you can offset the cost by getting a lower rate on your
