What is the top speed of the Dodge Challenger R/T?

I just found out that my dad is getting me a Dodge Challenger R/T as a graduation gift. I plan to be a (mostly) responsible driver, but I’m still stoked about owning a muscle car and want to see what it’s capable of. What is the top speed of the Dodge Challenger R/T?

With its 375-horsepower V8 engine, the
Dodge Challenger R/T
can reach a top speed of 155 miles per hour, going from 0 to 60 in just 5.2 seconds.
While it can be tempting to test the limits of your new Challenger R/T on the open road, driving over the speed limit is an easy way to get into a wreck, or get yourself pulled over for speeding or reckless driving—all of which can add points to your license and
increase your car insurance rates
.
If you want to try driving your car at high speeds, look for a car club or racetrack that hosts a track day. These events allow amateur drivers to test out their cars without breaking the law and include a short lesson with a professional driver. Attending a track day usually costs between $150 and $300 depending on where you live.
Keep in mind that as a young person with a muscle car, there’s a good chance you’ll be faced with higher-than-average
car insurance
payments. But using the
