well remember not to trust the speedo on the Mustang. At the top speeds it can be off. Maybe if you get it calibrated by the Auto Club you'll have and idea. Either way the speedo is difficult to read, since there is an angle when viewing it, so I'd try to get an aftermarket device that shows speed in digital form.

That's probably the salesman that sold the 2000 Mustang GT-R with the turbocharged gold plated rotary engine to the guy from the movie in the "Wow...just Wow" Thread.

I've been up to about 135 on I-10, but too much traffick that day to do much more.

A few weeks ago I was cruising along at about 80 and I got blown off the road like I was parked...by a Ford GT. Of course the guy that drives it owns a Ford dealership here in town (and parks it out front all the time).

Awesome car. I bet he was pushing 160-170 and damn it was loud!
