Question What Is The Top Speed

i have been looking for info on the top speed and governor cut off. I cant find it! All I can say is that I was switching from 4th to 5th @ 143mph, before I had to slow down!

got mine up to 147 personally...GPS confirmed...I can do 120 in the 1/4, so that's a new thing, and I'm not sure what the top speed would be, but I bet it would be quicker w/o the wing though

I've seen over 150 but the speedo stops there. It was a jiggly windy white knuckle thing with the convertible body shell. The speedo I know is inacurate as I have confirmed with GPS before that 75 on the speedo means 73 in reality so go figure

Thanks for the info guys!

Hey Jim, what can we do about that long signature, it takes up my whole screen and I have a 20" flat screen!

Thank God he doesnt post much I think the same thing all the time.
He could compress it or stack some of it to the side instead of all the way down like that.

I've had my needle buried before on the way to Mammoth(the longest, straightest road there is) and it was still pulling at @ 5200 rpm. So 160ish is about what I'd guess.

At 150m/h I run out of speedo, but the car is still accelerating and I've gone much faster. The published number is 171m/h. Roushes are not governed, but the Ford system kicks in at red line--
