I think its electronically governed to 130 or so. Just get a chip to take it off and then you can go as fast as you want until your engine blows up.

SN95 cars are not speed governed. The only thing limiting your top speed is wind resistance and RPMs.

I've been 147mph

99-00 GT's with the 16" wheels are governed to 117MPH due to the tires.

Ford put tires that were not Z-rated on them for some reason

What about the 1999 and on up cars ?
I heard that they are limited by a fuel cut off
switch at 137 MPH, but that is just hearsay.

I have only been 110 in my car, (I know I baby it),
but that is as fast as I have been.

Ive been (assuming) over 150 going downhill on a 2 mile stretch, I say assuming cause the needles was on the pin past 150, it felt way to fast with the stock suspension, I coulda died, but it woulda been fun.
