I have a 98 gt it is true that there is a gov. at 135 right???

I have a 98 Gt, 5-spd.(stock at the time) and I got it up to 135. Still had a fair amount of gas left to. To my knowledge Ford started putting a governer on in 99. Also keep in mind that if you are not lowered, the front end will come up at 160 and you will flip over at 180.

Not to be against ford or anything, but these numbers kindof suck, I topped out my cousin's 350z at 153 and his car is stock, i tihnk i prolly could of gone faster but i started getting scared i might run across a cop or something so i stopped at 153. The reason i know it was 153 is because it has both the regular and digital speedometer.

Yes that's true, there are alot of car that are faster than the Mustang. But, how often do we really open them up? I love speed but I really don't need to go 150mph. And I know I couldn't afford it if I got caught. I got caught once doing 61 in a 25 and I thought that was a pretty steep fine, I don't even want to think what 150 in a 65 would be.

Yeah but that 350z is a ricer. ricer have topend. the stangs a 1/4 mile car. plus the 350z is more dough. buy a stang and drop the extra cash in it to make it cost as much a the z car and itll crush it. but i do love the z cars. that probly my fav import. either that or the supras.
oh anyone know the z car 1/4 mile time?

oh and his bone stock 350z had 2 speedos in it huh?

155 is when the govener kicks in, so figure there is a tad bit of head room after that and its 4.5s 0-60. Theres a video of a cobra CONVERTIBLE doing 150+ on the autobahn with the top down.
GTs have been known to do 150 as well.

Here's mine at 140+ It made it up to 148 and I had to shut it down because I was coming up on other cars. I was in nowhere, TX on I-10 between El Paso and San Antonio.
