Just a simple curiosity...I drove it from Mexicali to Tijuana Baja in Mexico and average speed was 75MPH...ran like it was new, but I'm concerned about safety... What is the top speed you have run yours?

I nailed the speed govoner 1 time on the interstate ( had to get to a hospital 60 miles away really quick ) my buddie that was behind me in his mustang said that it toped out at 105mph but it felt like I was only doing 80mph. It was actually really smooth and felt stable but of course mine is only a 2wd and I DO NOT RECOMEND doing this (It was 3am and NO ONE was on the interstate when I did it, other wise I never would have run that fast).

Our posted speed limit here is 75 and I always run 80 have never had any issues. I have even had semi trucks change lanes with no signal before due to someone being on the shoulder and it handles the quick stops like you are on rails ( I have never kicked the anti lock brakes on dry pavment only on wet or icy )

103 According to my Garmin, people in the fast and or passing lane fail miserably in the state of GA, I had to use the slow lane to get around 8 cars, did it with the 35s and a 4 inch lift, handled quite well.

I've done whatever the speed is when the needle stops at 100. I don't have anything to back that up, so I'm not sure the exact speed.

i think its 105 or 110. either way if you tap in the computer you can turn off the governer. idk how but i know it can be done. dont want to do it cause 100 is fast enough.

Hit 98 on the speedo for about a mile.
Nothing different besides the increased wind noise.
Hard to find an area to do this as most folks will do 70
in the left lane and refuse to move out of the way of faster
traffic.:eek:
