Tune by Paul's High Performance
That's why you don't have a limiter

Only taken mine to 115.... And I will probably never go that fast again...

i think that there is a rev limiter on just 5th gear. In my 94 gt i can do 125 in 4th gear, but can only do 120 in 5th. I cant get it to rev any higher than 3000 in 5th. So im guessing that it is a limiter on it.

No such thing as a per gear limiter from the factory... Maybe you just don't have enough power to get the car to go any faster...

So you're saying V6's are slow? They may not be as fast as a GT but they're plenty fast for me. I'm saying this and I'm 18, lolol.

You people are insane, fastest I've driven is 90.

i hate to say, but i see everyone ask: "Hey, if you want to go fast, why didnt you get a gt?"

FOR ME it was two things. I only had the money for a v6. At the time, i wanted a newer model because i didnt know a lot about how well mustangs held up after like 40/50k, and my dad didnt want me getting one with that many miles.

2: Insurance- insurance in NJ sucks for guys, its so expensive it sucks, and if i got a gt, i would of had to pick up 4 jobs instead of 2. Now, I dont pay for insurance, my parents do, but if i get a ticket or something, the extra is on me, so Im really careful about that.

I wish i had a GT or a cobra, but hey, you play the cards your dealt. If i could go back in time, i would have saved a bit more and gotten a Gt or just gotten a older GT or cobra, but at the time i was about to get my license and i just wanted a car! And for me, a 2002 mustang? Come on, what a sight for a 16 year old kid!

thats why


EDIT: plus, only a handful of hot chicks that are 17 and 18 actually would say: " Only a v6? Eww, get the hell away from me! And are those 18 inch chrome mach ones? Oh my GOD! They are so ugly!" Thats never happened to me..i find it that girls love mustangs...they all want to sit in it and drive it, but..heh, theres a price to pay....no, seriously, i charge .50$

I guess your not 18 like us v6 owners. Stupid is always on in our head, we won't understand why the cop pulls us over either.

Im 17 and i have a GT, i may act stupid sometimes, but why race over 120? A lot of cars can beat you out when you max out, thats not what a race is, race from a dig up to a reasonable speed, thats a race, not a max out contest. ZachW04Stang, Whitecomet25, you guys are giving us young guys a bad name. Why brag and make excuses about being immature? Grow up

The reason why I raced him was pride, I was not going to let that ricer boy mess with me. Sure I do need to grow up. Also the reason I got a V6 was that it was the only 99 stang I could afford (I got it for 3000 cash). I may not be ready for a GT but I am going to do my best with my car.
