Thanks fellas.

Of that 40 mile run, half was down I-71 (I cover an area between Cincinnati and Louisville) running around 120-130mph (which is the governed speed on our AWD Chargers). The other ~20 miles were on 2 lane highways with few "passing zones". (Curvy).

In a coworkers '15 RWD Charger, I took it all the way past 150mph one time. The car was stable, but with a basic shoulder/lap belt and no roll cage (and a heavily deer-populated area) It was more than I wanted.

Glad to hear the oil and engine temps are satisfactory, ta man. You're endeavor makes me feel comfortable foregoing an oil cooler on my build. (May copy tho and utilize an oil temp gauge).

150 mph on a public highway has waaaay more pucker factor than going 230 mph on a dragstrip. Wow, that's bad*ss. I'll have to behave myself on my next trip to Louisville. 😏
