Does anybody know for a fact if the 2018 Durango SRT has a speed limiter and if yes, what is it?
Thank you

Durango SRT top speed limiter?
I have had my 2011 Citadel to 128mph... I did reset the Speed Limiter to 150mph with my Diablosport i3.. among other things.

Likely 165mph… good luck getting there if not on the Daytona speedway 😂. Hits 130 fast but after that it’s a slow climb… you tend to catch up to traffic or something very quick at that point. 145mph was crazy for a few seconds. Did beat a Porsche in the process 😉
Thanks everyone but I'd still like to know if anyone has a document from Dodge that states the factory setting if any.
I hit 140 very quickly but I was running out of space.
With a K&N CAI and 1/2 tank of gas at 39000 miles. In "Track mode" I ran 0-60 in 3.9 secs. I always run 93 octane and empty the cargo bay. Without any after market tuning.
See the dash post attached.
My Ford Expedition / Edelbrock EForce supercharger at 8.5psi would top out at 152mph. The engine felt like it had more go but even a jet engine couldn't beat the wind resistance and it's a big brick to stop.

Do note: the best place to test these speeds are on unused airport runways with permissions. As SLR3016 says, "you tend to catch up to traffic or something very quick at that point "
I bought a Diablo tuner for my '06 Daytona shortly after I got it. I recall that it was originally factory speed limited to like 149mph, which was the limit of the factory speed-rated tires. Before doing any mods, I remember it easily hitting 140 mph with a lot more to go. I raised the limiter to 195 mph, but like many here have said, even though the Daytona is lower, sleeker and lighter than a Durango, it still is basically a brick, especially the earlier ones. Realistically, I could hit between 160-165, but at those speeds, you run out of horsepower, limited by gearing, and pushing a brick through the air.
With my mods, I was in the 405 - 410 HP range, so even though an SRT has more HP and better gearing with 8 speeds, it sits higher, is way heavier, and is a bigger brick, so about equal. Best realistic guess would be a similar top speed in the 160 - 165 mph range, assuming no limiter.

Thanks all.
Hey Wikked, Who did your tuning? and can you still use different modes like auto, custom, snow etc...?

Not sure I would want to go 160+ in a Durango regardless of the suspension due to the side surface area.
With my SRT10 Ram I hit 160+ and it held its ground pretty good but faster then that, not in a truck/SUV by any means.
