That would be,"What do you mean, an African or European Swallow?" I only had my 86 up to 122, but that was at the big end of US 30 in 89, only 1320 feet from where I was stopped- however, I do vividly recall the butt-pucker that trying to slow it down brought on. Learned lesson #1, Fox's brakes suck, don't go fast.

Actually, a little known fact is that at the 6250rpm rev-limiter a 5.0 mustang with 2.73 gears, 225/60/15 stock tires, and the .675 5th gear ratio, the stock 5.0 fox-body mustang is the fastest production car of all time with a speed of 258.61 mph... I just verified it with my calculator

Nice, the calculator is the fastest thing one can put on their car!

i've had my gt at 155 with bolt on's and a certified 160 speedo out of a state trooper car ... maybe could have gotten a lil more but i was running into traffic on 95
