Just trying to find out what the "official" top speed was listed as in the 96-98 Cobras. I have heard all kinds of numbers, but it seems like 162 was mentioned in a Ford press release. Is that close?
Around 150 stock, pretty much all 4.6 Mustangs (dunno if auto's are different) will get very close to 150 mph, some just get there quicker, like the Cobra's and PI GT's.
had my speedo buried on my 96 gt,maxed out all the gears,shifted into 5th at 6k rpm and was at right around 147,once in 5th had it prob 152 or so with stock 327s and exhaust.takes forever to get there though,3 am run on the parkway with a porshe haha
Factory I know the 99-04 cobras and mach are limited to 155-158 from what I read. GTs were not limited because they couldnt go that fast (somehwere around 145-150).
if yours isnt limited then I say 160 should be possible.
