I was cruising on I-74 on Thursday around 5:30 PM on a pretty empty stretch. I see a car with HIDs roll up behind me so i get out of the way and realize its a brand new Challenger. Needless to say he saw the SRT badge on the Jeep and decides to punch it. I caught up in just a few seconds and next thing you know we're next to each other at about 150+ MPH (i couldn't keep trank of the MPHs cuz i was freaked out by the fact i was not only topping out the Jeep, but that i was next to a car doing it). Once we approached some traffic it turned into a game of cat-and-mouse for a couple miles before he backed off. What a great day!

Nice that you kept up with the Challenger at higher speeds. They're much more aerodynamic, carrying less weight and similar power.

Its nice to here that the jeep could stay with the challenger at top speeds

Challenger probably has higher top end, less drag, less weight. The Jeep has better gearing but will run out of speed at 150+. Would make for a good race.

Wow to cool. The only Challenger I see on the road are SXT or RT =(

As RickG would say "150 MPH on a public road, congrats on voiding your warranty"
