OK, now for the serious answer. The car has a speed limiter on it. This is how they keep insurance rates down so people will still buy Mustangs.

Young Man (Geeze, I sound like my father) most of us have done this at one time or another. I am not sure what is more exciting having a fast car that goes fast or can go fast. I am now 36 years old and I remember having my first sports car at 22 (I had to finnish college first and get my first real job). I drove it 140 mph in the Nevada Desert!!! It was great! Course in those days I was a young Naval Officer and I was invinceable.

Now that I am old, I don't think I have had my stang much over 80. You see, with age comes responsibility. With a reckless ticket, I have too much to loose including my way to earn a living.

So I say this, drive the car...see how fast it can go. One of two things will happen. Either you will kill yourself or something will happen that will scare the crap out of you. Have you ever seen what a deer looks like running out in front of you at 120 mph? When you drive that fast, people ahead of you don't expect it either and they tend to pullout in front of you with no notice.

Last month on the National News a Man was stopped on I-81 in PA (my exit) for going 185 in a new Lambo. His answer "I wanted to see how fast it would go". His 5 year old was in the back. Child Wellfare took his kid and he lost his car. In PA the fine is $100 for every mph over 25 over the limit, not to mention all the other tickets. When you get stopped doing a 100 mph they treat you like a criminal and the Judge could care less that "you were trying to see how fast it will go" or "it seemed like a good idea at the time."

Be sensible and respect your car. Have fun and drive safely!
