So this morning I was on my way to class and was going down the road [4 lanes, 2 each way] and the mustang was already warmed up [15 minutes in the driveway idling and 10 on the road] so I decided I wanted to see how fast this thing can actually go. I started at the top of a hill that went down to a straight-away for about 3 miles. I had the thing floored and just listened to it roar. It felt great. Then I notice the speedo started to go to about the 3 on my OD which reads 131,xxx. The RPMs suddenly bounced back to about 3k and my car slowed down.. Did I hit the rev limiter or are our cars governed? I don't have a chip or anything... I know I didn't break anything, just had a confused look on my face like...WTF was that?

Anyone know?

There isn't a governer on the Fox, but there is a factory rev limit set at 6250.

 

[sKyZ]

So I'm guessing I hit that...Any idea how fast I was going with 4.10's?

 

[strokedandblown]

probably around mach 3 .5 or 4 somewhere in there

Warp 8

Warp 8

not sure why but that made me spit up soda....lol..:Word:

 

[srothfuss]

I thought the title of the tread was good until I saw WARP 8!

 

[payupsucka]

warp 8 isnt that the required speed for time travel

If you hit the rev limiter the engines not going to "bounce" back to 3000. When I hit my limiter it just studders a little. I'd check for loose iginition wires.

I think he went "ludicrous speed".


Spaceballs...that movie was hilarious....

 

[Slo 5.0]

my friend has 4.10s and at 6200 rpm we were going between 120-130.

do you think he went to plaid

 

[sKyZ]

I don't know how fast I was going.. The speedo was between 6-7 o'clock, I have 4.10's without the speedo gear.. I'm guessing I could have traveled back in time... I knew that was elvis on the side of the road!!

 

[88_GT_5_oh]

Warp 8

lmao, that was funny

 

[gt40_2003wes]

i dont see no reason for it to jump back to 3000 if u hit the rev limiter.

 

[88gt]

do you think he went to plaid

I almost forgot that!!!

yeah man, a rev limiter just drops it a few hundred not a few thousand.

 

[Euphoric306]

wait... howd u get the speedo past the tripometer reset button? mine used to get caught up there before it stopped workin

 

[Euphoric306]
