Stupid question

98'MustangGT · 09-18-2000, 07:54 AM

Ok, I was wondering, is there a governor on my 98 Mustang? Because the dealer said there wasn't, but he looked like he knew more about a Chevy Camaro than a Mustang, so, I wasn't sure. My friend said there was. Can someone set things straight?

Nope, at least not unless your dad put one on there.

If there was you would see alot of artical write up's about them and alot of post too.

I heard that if you didn't get the upgraded 17 inch wheels with Z-rated tires then there was a factory installed governer....???At like 112mph. Speedo may show 120 if you have 3:73's.

I can definitely say that the 112 mph governor is bs. I've got the 16 inch tires on my stang and when I had the 2.73s in my car it just cruised at 120. I was following a friend of mine, he was in his 95 SHO and I in my stang, to a Mustang car show and made a usual 30 minute trip into about 10 minutes doing 120 the whole way. Talk about fun.

Kinda interesting driving on two lane highways, half the time in the other lane cause we were passing traffic. Flat land here at the edge of Missouri and Kansas.
