why so you can have a blowout or hit a animal and roll?? Not worth dying to go that fast!joshman1204 said:I have had mine up to 140 before I backed out of it and it was getting very light on its feet. I will prolly try to get it to 143 now that it has a few more miles on it.
I understand that its dangerous to go fast, but you do it only for a few seconds and the chances are really in your favor that nothing bad will happen when its a new car. Its the idiots that go real fast on bald tires that scare me. I had my 01 GT up to 120 and it felt like the car was just bouncing all over. I was a little concerned about the tires also so i never approached that level again. I hit 115 mph with my GTO and it was a smooth ride. It tops out at 162 without a speed govenor. I plan to hit 150mph just to say i did it. After 150 mph though i'd be more worried about the engine being robbed of oil then a tire being blown out.stangscuba98a said:why so you can have a blowout or hit a animal and roll??

Top speed is usually a question of aerodynamics. Its not that the 05 GT doesn't have the power to go there, it a matter of how much drag it creates which will limit its maximum top speed. I figure the front hood design alone will cost the Mustang a little at top speed. How often do you get to top speed though? The MacLaren F1 has a certified top speed of 241mph (amazing video), now thats aerodynamics + 650hp.
