Do you have the stock wheel/tire size combination? Your top speed is just short of the normal cutoff. Your 194-200 km/h is 120-124 mph. The normal cutoff is about 126 mph or about 203 km/h. Stage 1 does not modify the top speed cutoff point. According to a Mopar engineer, the PT gets very aerodynamically unstable above 130 mph and Chyrsler doesn't want it getting into that speed range.

Thank you Michelday for the answer, the size of my tires are 225/50 R17. I was cheking my speed one month ago with a GPS and I saw thats the same speed that the instrument in the car. You are talking about de cutoff point!, well in my car when you are runing about 196 km/h you feel 7 little cutoff before the pressure of the turbo go down a 3 psi. then you can´t accelerate quickly in your car is the same?
OK Thx..... I hope you understand my horrible english!!!
