What the hell was ford thinking? why govern the gt mustang? anyone got there gt faster then 142 mph?

[DaLe five OH!]

the reason any car maker governs a car is because thats the threshhold of certain parts that you need, driveshaft, tranny, rearend ect. all have limits to how fast they can spin, not to mention your brakes, have you ever seen a honduh go over 100 mph and then try and use the stock brakes?

Yes they Glow a nice shade of Red then they just stop working..

I got mine up to 142 mph at VIR and Ran out of road on the back straight just before the Roller coaster Turns, I was standing on the brakes. Puckered up big time.

I've taken my 06 GT all the way to the 140mph line and it was still pulling! so who knows??? but yes...it was very scary!!! ever see those speedboats flip-over? that's what you think of at 140+ see ya!

yea but 140 isnt nothing. i got 167 out of my 93 5.0.......at least thats what the officer said that his radar locked on, not for sure but the needle was pointed straight down, i need a ssp 160 speedo instead of the 140! lol
