Next time my SON.

I think 150+ in a Mustang is wishful thinking.. Motor Trend did a top speed test on the Mustang a few years back, and even with the wipers taped, and the gaps in between the headlights taped up, they only managed like 141mph. Which is pathetic, considering I hit about 150mph in the SVT

154mph on US27 from miami to davie.

2000 CSVT stock /w 2 fine girls in the car that wanted to see what the SVT can do..

peer preasure sucks

Did 165mph on my way to school the other day.

Ooops, i meant 16.5mph it was a 15mph speed zone. You guys are crazy, i'm always afraid to take my car 10 mph over because in ohio you can get tickets from helicopters. It's a crock. I know one guy said (supposidly) got an $800 ticket in the mail one day for doing 150 in a 55.

Illegal street racing is banned, yet illegal, excessive speeding is not?

Seems very inconsistent. Whats to prevent someone who prefers highway racing to street racing to do 100+, injure themselves, and sue the site?
As ive heard before NUMEROUS time, "keep it to the track" (post deleted)...

Without K&N (still waiting to install it-yes, I fudged on my sig. :p ) In 1998, while driving to North Carolina from New Orleans, I did 110mph for a while (we wanted to see how fast she could go). When I drive to VA and AL, I generally maintain 95-100mph if there are others driving that fast. If I have sparse traffic, I tend to drive 80-85mph. Yes I drive fast and would love to have a V6, but I love her--4Cyl and all!

Good point; that's why when I did 125 in my dad's Mercedes, it was at the track. Yeah, that's it. Same for the 115 in my SVT. A couple of times my spedometer has hit 56 on the highway, and I've reported myself each time. They wouldn't write me a ticket, though... Lazy-ass pigs. :p

I never speed. I am always a good boy, I promise. :rolleyes:

We all know where a stock, non-SVT Contour tops out anyway, so I don't have to try it.

The fastest that my 98.5 Mystique LS 2.5 with automatic transmission will go is 220 kilometers per hour turning 5200 rpm . This is about 136 miles an hour.Before I had the speed limiter de-activated , it would only go about 180 kph, (112miles an hour)

Heh heh. Over a year ago. Scratch that quote, I went 125 last weekend.
