Yeah, like I outlined in my thread in the vintage forum regarding my new Charger:

- I know what its top speed is, electronically limited, and I've hit it several times now. In 2 weeks, probably about 5 times. It gets there too quickly. Even with a full car (I'd guess over 1100 lbs between my 200-lb ass and my 3 coworkers). It's ugly because I am going to wind up with one hell of a speeding ticket, I feel.
With the ESP off mod, I can probably accellerate faster over that time (by a good 0.2 seconds I bet, at least). Even if not, it's still fast. If I were on a long trip and didn't set the cruise, I have no doubt that I'd be at 100+ without even noticing it. It's the difference between coasting or curling your toes - literally.
