Hmm, I didn't know the newer cars had speed limiters.

I'll agree w/deuce. Just because this is a mustang board, doesn't mean we can drive irresponsibly. There is a place for triple digit speeds - AT THE TRACK. I'll sit back and keep quiet about an adult asking this type of question, because I'll make an assumption that the high speed run was possibly done at a remote location with very little chance of someone else getting hurt. However, a 17 year old making a statement like this makes my hair stand on end.

I am 36 years old, I have a lovely wife, have a lot to live for, and I don't want my life to end (or my wife's, God forbid) because of some dumbass kid (or adult) driving 115+ on a public road. Every Monday morning I listen to the radio to hear about the lasted kid killed on some two lane highway in rural Missouri. Yes, every Monday.

Instead of getting defensive about deuce's comments (and I guess mine now), listen to your wiser peers, and perhaps you can save someone elses life and possibly your own.

Have fun with the mustang, but drive safe.
