Speed limiter 140mph?????

[decidave8]

MY GT premium non-PP governed out at 149 on the track. I thought 155 was the advertised spec. I was surprised when it stopped pulling. Has anyone else gotten faster with a standard GT or a PP?

Same for me, I was a little disappointed when I was at the Autobahn and the limiter hit. I will double check the exact speed next time.

I have a 24 base GT w/ Mt-82 and a ford performance stage 1 Whipple installed by a dealership. My car hits the speed limiter hard at about 140-141mph. I used the Whipple tomahawk to change the wheel size and it did nothing. I was able to go 150+ pre Whipple. Does anyone know if there is a setting in forscan or somewhere else that will give me some mph back?

Man I wish mine would do that mine 24 premium MT-82 5.0 won’t do anything over 148 and I can’t find anything as to why

Where are you driving 140 MPH?

Private road. It's ALWAYS a private road.

Hope I'm not on it.

According to hotcars.com, topspeed.com, slasher.com (et. al.)... When it comes to recent and current production cars (albeit a few per year in some cases) the fastest Mustang ever (GT350) isn't even in the top 100! Fact is, the GT350 doesn't make it into the top 10 (12th place) domestically.

The faster you go, the more money it takes. The faster you go, the more dangerous it is. The faster you go... Well, you get the point. While the safest place to do these high speeds is on the race track, there are a few CMFs who try to push their lives to the limit by using the public highways we all drive on, and then brag about. That is my peeve to be sure!

S550 GT should do what, at least 175mph stock with the limiter removed?

I'd take issue with the "more dangerous it is".
German unrestricted autobahns being a major example denying that. And my experience of Italian autostradas is that they are immensely safer than the highways here in NZ despite having a 30 kmh higher limit that half the drivers ignore.
Lastly there is my experience of traffic enforcement. Driving often at twice the limit, among traffic, and often in unmarked cars, we had an insignificant accident rate, and no major accidents.

Stay in your rocking chair!

Yes, but let us not forget, the EU still requires diver's ed!

Believe there's an error allowance of, plus / minus 5mph on all speedometers. And, once tuners can get into the PCM / ECM, they can adjust the limiters. These 5.0's should be capable of 180+ stock.
