125 governed for Auto's.
Don't think the 5 spd's have governors.
Stock, I could see a GT getting to 135.

150ish in the cobra, Kept on pulling but decided to slow down when I was coming up on vehicles. Felt like I was getting ready for liftoff. Thing just wanted to scream. I dont get on the cobra that much at all.

Are you sure you hit 150? I'd figure your 3.73's would limit your top end.

with an auto and 3.73 your are gears will allow you to hit 180 with a 5.5K redline... but you need about 500 rwhp to do it. With the stock 3.08 gears top speed is 215 in forth but in 3rd its a nice 150. since we are all saying are top speed, i hit 135 in 3rd gear with my auto. I let off cuz i was on a crappy road, but i bet i could do 150.
