No, there is no speed limiter. Drag limited means that the aerodynamics of the car will not let it pass a certain speed. The shape of a Mustang will not let it top 147 mph (give or take a few) in it's stock form. If you throw on some heavy modifications, you will be able to push past the 147 mph mark, but not with a stock Mustang. Kthanksbye

Too horrible to repeat - It shouldn't be legal to depict such things...

"Gone in 60" had number of "snuff" scenes as well...

After he kicked the car it fell back of the jack stands and hauled a** out the back window in reverse and down a very large drop. Had to kick it more than once though. Sometimes thats the only way to work out childhood issues with dad......

161mph is hauling big time. Imagine getting a ticket for 100 over.
