Default Top speed???

I was just wondering what the fastest you guys have gone? Due to space limitations, I've only went up to 130mph, but I am sure it has more.

149mph max speed computer limited.

reflash and you can get 200mph with the 3.31 rear gear, like 180mph with 3.55 gears, 173mph with 3.73, and 160mph with 4.10's or something like that.

137 Stock, and still was accelerating. Only once though. Can't afford the ticket , or the night in jail at those speeds. I need to move to AZ where the roads are long, straight, and don't have cops..

i'm not saying you can get there stock, that's just what you can get if you were to max out 5th gear. probably need a lot more hp to get to 200mph though.

I've only done about 110 in my 07 since I dont trust my new after-market sumititos (sp) - they refuse to take a good balance.
In my stock 2002 Mustang GTvert I got it close to 150 - slightly down hill though.
In my Mitsu 3000GT twin turbo I hit 155 while racing the fastest taxi cab I have ever seen (a crown vic), then promptly toasted my rotors trying to slow down to 70 in time for the next exit. The rotors and electrical system in both the 3000 GT's I owned sucked! - no more mitsu for me thanks.

172 on I 96 going from Novi Mi to Lansing Mi. It was dusk in the morning when the sun was coming up. Why i don't know. But i figured since I was listening to "Love bites" from Def Lepard and I was up to 110 I figured just drop it down on My 2.4L KB SC 04 mustang and see where it takes me.
