That is withOUT the limiter. Drag limited means that the car is going as fast as it can given its horsepower and aerodynamics. AFAIK, there is not a governor on the Mustang - which IS a limiter.

I can't get to 88 mph or my flux capacitor fires up. Anyone know how to disable it? Seriously I have heard 150-155 with the 3.55s. Stock
