No joke! I tried doing 100 through Mississippi and with a side wind it was just a bit nervous...so I backed down to 90!

Dont have to imagine. Got a ticket doing 141 mph on my then GSXR...FYI beat the ticket in one of the hardest places (VA) Cop was delayed arriving to court and did not make it. Due to distance I traveled to get to Va from my then home the judge tabled it for what turned out to be 2 hours until after lunch to give the cop time to arrive. (multi car 18 wheeler crash on the beltway). When court resumed and I was still there it was dismissed without prejudice. I was sweatin bullets!!!!!

i drove mine cross country on 40 with my dad. i had her up to about 115 in texas before i thought i saw a cop and slowed down. my father got her up to 135 but the hood was shaking so bad in the wind we slowed down. i can tell you this much, she is stable on a flat straight road at 135 as you could want. i can bet that if you lowered the car aggresively with some serious bolt ons 170 wouldnt be out of the question.

Just to add the obligatory post from your "mom"...

I have done it myself - wow 120 in this car feels like 60 in an 85 (ON A GOOD ROAD - I'll get to that at the end)

1. Make sure you don't do this on roads that you are not EXTREMELY familiar with - and that means having been on it recenly enough to know if the road has been damaged.

Don't do it at all, but back to reality...

2. When you are 30+ go back to a road you did this on when you were 16-20 and realize just how stupid that was Then appreciate that you are still alive...

3. If you think you can see well enough at night, you are fooling yourself... don't do it...

4. Particularly out west - watch out for earth quake damage - I was not paying attention in Alaska and looked down only to find I was going about 115 due to lack of visual reference out in the middle of nowhere.

Slowed down and a mile down the road, the road had buckled and had a 2 foot wave in it... Had I hit that at speed, I would be dead...

5. 05/06's don't like big bumps at spead... Goes from rock solid to a bouncy school bus when the rear tires hit something big... See #1 above.

There has to be a governer. I would want it disabled. Whether I ever hit it or not, I cant stand the thought of a computer telling me what I can and cant do in my car, safe or not.

I have had expiriences with porsches and BMW's at triple digit speeds at race tracks. IMO, the new stang is very good at speed. I did 135 one night on a deserted stretch of highway. Basicly brought it up there for a couple seconds and let off. Thing was solid as a rock.

I have been in some other cars that make you want to crawl under the seat at those speeds.

But in truth, anyone that has intentions of hitting those speeds at any kind of frequent basis on the street is an *** plain and simple.

I took it to 135ish at the very top of 4th and didnt even bother shifting to 5th cause it was fast enough for me (I already won the race) Im not denying what you guys are saying about 147, but the car really felt like it had a LOT more in it.

I was in fourth at approx 135 and the car wasent quite topped out in fourth yet. She was still pulling like a train and was right in the powerband.

By my impressions, I would say 160 is absolutly plausible stock barring no electronic limiter.

Yes you did get super lucky, VA is a very hard place to be a ticket, with three witnesses i still lost, 4 people vs one cop and the judge ruled with the cop.

Did you spend a night in Jail when they pulled you over? anything over 20MPH in VA is considerned reckless driving and they usualy throw your *** in jail.
