i have a stock 1998 mustang gt and while drving on the highway today i wanted to see what the top speed was and at 120 the car seemed like it wanted to shut off i thought that it would have gone a little higher than that is there something wrong with the car or is that normal for a 1998 gt?

What do you mean "wanted to shut off"? Can you explain more in depth what happened at 120mph?

I hit the speed limiter in my old mustang which was a v6 and it hit the limit and backed down again but went back to the limit....but when i hit 120 in my gt the car felt like it was braking i felt like i lost all power.....i didnt think the gt had a speed limiter of 120

pretty much all north american cars are governed at 120mph..........

what can i do to get rid of that. ive seen many videos of gts going up to 150. is there something simple i can do or do i have to get an upgraded chip?

going across new mexico on i40 this spring, i brought my 99 up to 130 only for a short period of time. i have to disagree that all north american cars are governed at 120, cause i have been WAY over that in a few different cars, on the race course that is.

then is it my year that can't go over the 120 mph speed limiter? (98). or did you do something to your car?
