Did you know?
 
I had no clue that the new 05/06 mustang gt's only go up to 140mph!! WTF?? Why did they knock 10mph off the speedometer? Because of a little increased hp?

they probably figured nobody uses it much past 139mph.

ive gotten my 04 to 138. never had much desire to top that.

I had mine at 130 before, and it wasnt illegally. I was at 3 grand in 5th gear, and plenty left to go.
:D

It race dom, all I would have to do is let the clutch out slowly and coast. He cant push faster than the car's idle speed with no gas. Thats gotta be around 7mph just coasting, right?

What rearend ratio are you running? My old 89 5.0 was turning 3000rpms at 100mph, my 01 Gt turns 3000rmps around 95 to 100mph. Both with stock gearing.
