Why is theGT so slow? Evenmy old 4 Cylinder BMW hit the 220 kmh (140 MPH). I drove it in germany so it wasn't a big deal. I just think a car with almost 3 times the power should be faster?

Interesting question, anyone got an answer? I own a GT myself and I LOVE it I'm not slandering our beloved stang, just wondering.

RE: Increasing top speed

Probably because German cars are autobahn cruisers. Like my friends Audi runs the 1/4 like 1/5 sec slower than my Mustang but has the same top speed.

RE: Increasing top speed

Anyone know the natural top speed of the GT when the limiter is removed by a tuner?
