the new cobras are limited to about 160 cuz if they didnt have a limiter they would go over 170-180 and literally get airborne, motortrend took the 03 cobra to do a top speed run and when it hit the governor at 160 it was pulling so hard it threw them foreward in the seat, i want one

IMO, over 120 in an otherwise stock stang is a deathwish. Hell, 100+ is a handful.

I have hit 140 in my 01 GT. I have also been in a crown vic patrol car that was doing 145. One of these days I will see how fast I can make mine go.
