Theoretical top speed

[Durango]

Theoretical speed kinda means an area 51 vehicle with a TRX hellcat in it? Still fun.

Just guessing here, the way around a governed speed limit, would be a cracked/tuned PCM, which would void warranty?

Does anyone know or know how to calculate what speed the actual TRX, starts to become unstable or that loosing control feeling?

Sure there is a reason why they governed it.

Dude - you gotta read all the posts, and what Stellantis says...the maximum speed is set because they can't mfr a vehicle that goes faster than the maximum rated speed of the tires they put on it.
The truck is not going to come apart at a higher speed - but the tires will if sustained at a higher speed.
Maybe we'll get lucky and some tire mfr will come out with a tire that size rated for higher speed, and then the PCM can be updated to the higher speed...(don't hold your breath)

The thread topic is: Theoretical top speed.

I did read it, That's why I was curious and asked:
Is the way around a governed speed limit, would be a cracked/tuned PCM, which would void warranty? No answer.

Isn't that what Bambi was getting at with the Theoretical top speed question? Its a good question.

This whole post is theoretical. Once you get past tires, then is it weight and wind drag?

How long is going to be until someone gets aftermarket set of 19" or 20" rims and puts Nitto Invo or pirelli sport cups on it, for better street performance.

If so, so please let us know, what is the theoretical limit of the TRX with Z rated tires adding in the current weight, Aero & uplift? Just curious, that's why I asked.

Thanks

As was stated before it will come down to mass and aerodynamics. So being that this is a heavy brick with a massive engine, I'm predicting 170 MPH. I base this on my old Charger Hellcat performance and a shot of grey goose I just had with lunch!
Pura Vida!

You calculate when it becomes unstable by accelerating until it becomes unstable.

and yes to get rid of the governor you need a tune. If you only undo the governor and don’t mess with anything else it would be difficult for them to void your warranty and have it stand up in court. By law the modification needs to be linked to the failure

Does anyone know what the top speed of the viper truck was?

That potential speed is impressive.

I was going to guess around 160+\- before it got really dangerous. I bet it could do 180 if you didn’t care about survival

I think at that speed range, any twitch of steering wheel or bump to spring the weight, may be a scary ride. Have to be carefull and know the area you driving on.

I'm guessing this truck will be lucky to do much over 150. Too much drag. I have had my track hawk to 160 and it took a ways to get there.I think the top speed on the track hawk is something over 170, and it is not even close to the brick that the TRX is.
