If it’s a Neon SRT-4, the top speed is 150+.

Yeah. I had a 2001 Chrysler 300m with Sport package. I had it up to 142 in eastern Montana on I-94 once. I was being chased by a couple of guys in Grand Cherokees with the standard 105 mph governor.

It feels almost like the laws of physics change at that speed.

They're quick! Power: SAE 215 hp (160 kW) (2003 model) SAE 230 hp (170 kW) (2004–2005 models)[5][6][7] In 2004, the SRT-4 received a power increase, with larger fuel injectors and a recalibrated engine computer.[8] Manufacturer's specification when the SRT-4 was released was 230 hp (170 kW). However, several independent tests have produced results indicating 230-238 whp and 250-262 lb-ft. This would indicate that the SRT-4 produces more power than the manufacturer claims. The flywheel power is estimated to be 255-265 hp(190-198 kW) and 260-270 lb-ft torque(352-366 N·m) [9][10][11][12][13] Torque: 245 lb·ft (332 N·m) @ 3200-4200 rpm (2003 model) 250 lb·ft (339 N·m) @ 2400-4400 rpm (2004–2005 models) 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time: 5.6s (2003) 5.3s (2004, 2005)[14] (Car and Driver) Rev Limiter/Redline: 6240[15] 1⁄4 mile (400 m) time: 14.1s (2003) 13.9s (2004, 2005)[14] 1⁄4 mile speed: 102 mph (164 km/h) (2003)[16] 103 mph (166 km/h) (2004, 2005)[14] Top speed: Car and Driver magazine achieved a maximum speed of 153 mph (246 km/h).[15]

I think you’re right. Just nosed around for a couple of minutes.

You may have to take off a limiter, but that variant may not have one.
