Sometimes a DD is used for transporting certain things or to just keep miles off the play toy . An SUV has its advantages, and one IS NOT gas haha

Top speed is a good way to kill yourself and others.

I have 4.10s. Like 122 MPH top speed in 4th gear @ 6500RPM more or less
Thats fine for me with the mods I have...BTW I get 22 MPG at 65MPH in 5th

I was told that you will top off at 153-155 mph with 4.10s. I think my 06 GT auto has 3.55's and getting to that speed was a b^%*&. If it wasn't for gas prices I'd switch to those because I never in my life went faster than 170 (diff car) in the first place so 15mph is not a big deal. To those who are getting 22mpg in 5th at 65, that's a really crappy gas mileage. I'm running 29mpg at that speed, believe it or not. Mods listed below

The 4.10 aren't even that bad to begin with as far as gas is concerned

ORIGINAL: 06Saleen3V

If my car werent my DD, I would have 4:10s or even 4:30s! Gas strays me away from these gears .

If you really wanna know the top speed ... just jump in your stang on an open HWY with a passenger and have them hit the reset button on the speedo over and over again to see where it stops at ... might take awhile so you would need a nice long open stretch of road to the middle of no where -- umm like the road headed to Vegas ... plenty of space there around 3-4am [:-] [8D]

How did you end up with a mustang if your worried about gas anyway? ask me the price of 93 octane......Not a clue, cant say I honestly ever have even bothered to check either.
