TOP SPEED

[gusman]

What is the top speed of an 01 and up V6 stang and is it goeverned

 

[splatteredguts]

it usually shuts off between 115-120.

When I had my 01 V6, I had it up to about 118-119. It felt like it had a bit more, but you can definitely tell that the governor kicked in (yes, it has a limiter).

Same here. Mines a 99, but it cut out around 117ish, I'd guess. I try not to look down so much when Im going that fast

Yeah, mine's around 117-120. And it pi$$es me off b/c most rice goes somewhere around 130-140 and, b/c of that, they think their car is better even though they get in the quarter. I really, really hate rice....really.

[Stang2Man]

not much need gettin much over 70mph, however the quicker you get there the better off you are

I haven't toped my stang out, but my 1988 escort GT i had goin 135. No governer on that. I seriously thought it was going to fly apart...LOL . far to fast.

 

[pinski]

145 top speed. =D

Heh...it just takes *most* of you guys a year and a half to get there

 

[Integraholic]

Yeah. Well it only takes me 14 and a half seconds to get to 94 mph, so I'd say a good 25 to 30 seconds to get to 145

 

[Stallion]

less if you have a 5-speed & supercharger!:grin:

 

[77sleeper]

stock they are limited to 112 like most fords

So is there away to disconnect the gov on a V6 to get high speeds?

 

[98CobraClone]

mine was up to 149.......on the dyno (after the chip)

You could chip it...but I personally don't like chips b/c they always wind up messing something up. There could be other ways, but I don't know enough to say.

 

[Pro-Hawk]

Well I'm sure there is a way to get a V6 past 115-125 mph besides a chip, I was just wondering. 115-125 Isn't to bad, my ole Tahoe was capped off at 95 mph I miss that ole Tahoe is would out run my new one and got better gas mileage To bad some old lady had to kill it

 

[ndotym]

I have 03 v6 I've been around 117ish but the hp's around will take your car I'm cautious on where I try this...but you can feel the govener..I heard you can flash the computer to change the settings, any one hear of this procudure?

 

[truebluemuscle]

ive gotten mine below the needle a few times before the govenor kicked in. id say ive topped at close to 130... meybe 125. the first time it kicked in it scared the living hell out of me tho, it was like the engine just dropped out through the bottom of the car. fun times tho

 

[97v6Silver]

a chip that takes of the govenor is a fairly cheap item but the price goes up when you start tuning other things

 

[BZ's_03_SVT]

its all computer controlled...you can reflash the ECU with the same program minus the speed limiter or get a aftermarket chip that will do it too....or get other tunes that improve the shift points and rev limiter ect
