Top Speed?
ORIGINAL: mustang nut
The top speed of the vortech mustang was 192 mph. at 6600 rpm in fifth gear (five speed manual). I think that was with stock gearing, but It did have 20 inch wheels. That ad was in "mustang and fast fords" magazine. (There is a jet fighter in the back ground)

however, with 4.10 gears, at 6600rpm you would be at 193mph
...i wonder what gears they had

145 if fourth gear! I dont know how fast I was going in fifth...last time I posted the rpm I was pushing in fifth, I got slammed by a bunch of you guys. But, I figure these thing are capable of around 160 with a few mods.

I've done 130 before I had to back off. That was a lot of fun. I didn't notice any hoodshake, but maybe because I was focusing on driving/looking for cops. Cops in San Antonio can be realy bitchy so I go out on I10 just far enough to leave SA city limits.
Heh, I passed this one state trooper going roughly 125 the other day. He was in on of those SUVs. He put his lights on and jumped on the highway and then turned them off and got back on the side of the road.

I had mine at around 135-138MPH, seemed like it had a limiter, it didn't redline but didn't want to go faster, RPMs must have been at 4K-5K, kinda weird. We'll see how it does after this weekend though!
140 before I backed off. Nervous about police and it seems when your going that fast if you don't keep the wheel perfectly straight your going to lose it. Any vehicle seems like that to me when your going that fast. Besides, I'm paranoid someone with a cellphone is going to see me do it and call the cops about it.
Using my x-cal 2, I data logged my car w/ 100% throttle from a dead stop until I ran out of room. (afraid a trooper might be over the next hill) The datasheet said I reached 103mph.
