The fastest I have gone in my life has been like 80. But once I get my Mustang when ever that may be. Im going to try to hit that 130 mark too. How scary is it and why do you say it is?

I have been to 130 MPH in my 06 and I felt like I was doing 90-100....the car is big and heavy and when stock reminds me of one of the new Cadillacs. I had a little adrenalin going but not scary at all....the car stuck like it was on rails!

Yeah, don't have a 2010, but I got my 1993 convertible up to 145. I miss that car. Guarantee the 2010 can do more than the spedo tops out at. Even the 93 had more in it.

120ish...and didn't seem like it, felt like 80. I had my fair share of mustangs, (84LX5.0, 89GT, 89LX5.0Notchback, 95GT, 2000GT, 01 Cobra, 03 GT Vert & 2010GT). This by far is the most well build, smoothest, of them all...solid

I didn't break any "record" on my '10 GT yet. I was at 120 couple of times but I have a couple of points on my driving licence that I've earned with my '07 GT, once on Long Island Expressway (82 m/h) and once on Garden State Parkway (92 m/h), so I have to wait until they expire.

Hey guys, first time poster

I'm a little bit of a chicken so have only gotten mine to 112mile/hr (on a safe highway). In Canada the speedo goes to 240km/hr which is 150mile/hr. I've been told by the dealer the limiter kicks in at that speed.

Hi all

I don't post much often, sold the stang but still a member, waiting for the 2011

my 2006 convertible speed limiter used to kick in arount 230km/h (140esh MPH)
after some modes my top speed measured 278km/h using sat nav (167MPH)
and it was waaaay scary but fun.
