well what years are we talkign about, a 5.0 gets to 120 pretty quick, and it takes a bit to get to 140, a 96-98 gt gets to 120 slower then a fox but about the same to get to 140. a 99-04 gt gets to 120 pretty quick and goes to 140 quicker then the 2 above.

I think I hit like 85 once. The 4.6's tend to top out between 145 and 160 depending on a lot of things.

i hit 180 with the spare donuts on the front to reduce rolling friction... probably coulda hit 190 with the donut spares all the way around

Arent donuts speed rated to 55mph? Going 180 deffinately doesnt sound like a smart idea.
