I remember having my '86 Capri 5.0 up to 130, and that car was stock and rated at 200hp at the crank. One would assume a GT could easily get into the 140's. Damn.........I had my VQ Altima up to 138 a few months ago and had plenty left ( well maybe not plenty) then ran out of road.

Ive got just a hair before the 150 mark before i had to slow down bone stock. So im guessing about 148. I think it would have pushed those extra 2 mph but who knows. It was climbin pretty slow after the 140 mark.

I still had plenty of pull and I was only making the stock 215fwhp with my NPI. I also had 2:73 gears too so that can explain a lot. It's funny I thought I had such a fast car. Fast yes, Quck No, lol 15.7 @ 84mph

hey man, at 135 and you stopped cause of cops? Your already in a world of **** if they see you, so that extra 10-15 mph aint going to hurt. but yeah ive had it to 145... took a bit though. was i worried bout cops? no. the crown vics dont stand a chance in turning around and catching up to a car already doing 140. lol. i wouldve just dipped off the next exit coming up.
