04 or 01 gt speed limiter
I have both a 2004 mustang gt convertible and a 2001 gt coupe do either of these have a speed limiter on them and if so what? I'm just wondering cuz a guy at a ford dealership told him there was no speed limiter. I also have a question about red line. What can increase the number of rpm's it will take for the engine to redline? Thanks

a tuner can remove or change the speed limiter but the rpms i dont think thats can be changed by much.

well yea i know they both have rev limiters (clued in by red color around 5300 rpms 
) i mean a top out speed...the red lining question was completely seperate and came to mind while typing the original question.

RE: 04 or 01 gt speed limiter
To increase red line u could get a Ford Racing ECU or a similar device. CHips just take off top speed and over work your engine but i think the ecu might have a program to change the redline. I'd look into that b4 i bought one though cause they cost a good bit but if you knew someone that knew A LOT about that kind of stuff he might be able to tell u a ceap way to do it.

from what ive heard...automatics have a speed governor...but manuals dont. i had an 01 automatic v6...governed at 115. right now i have a manual 03 gt...and i can tell you that it is definitely not governed at 129. ive been 135 or maybe slightly over that.

RE: 04 or 01 gt speed limiter
your speed limiter depends on the size of your tire. You will have to look it up. Im not sure about the whole Automatic/Manual thing but i do know its based off of the size of the tire. I havent hit mine yet but i havent gone faster than 120 because i honestly dont see the need to. But i definitely read somewhere that its either 129 or like 133ish something like that.
