Don't V-6's have a limiter at like 105-110? I doubt you had it up to 135, that's about where the GT pegs.

Ok lets say you DID get to 135, Sam still doesn't have the hp to push his car that fast, not with the 69 Mustang's aerodynamics. I think you and Sam are both over estimating the hp his car puts down. It's only good for about 230ish net flywheel hp. That's about 195ish rwhp.
