Default Whats wrong with my stang.

This past weekend when i was on the road i decided to race a motorcycle even though there was a slim chance i would win, my car wouldn't go pass 120mph. Two weeks ago I race a 300GT and did 145+ before I had to slow down. Anybody know what the problem might be.

I'm surprised you made it to 145+. What are your mods?

Man 145 is too fast, that just dangerous. A big thing might have been a headwind vs. a tailwind, although I doubt it would make a 25mph difference. Do you have an Auto or a Stick? Are you sure you didnt have OD off, or neglect to shift into 5th?
