Fixed.

i must have just rode in some shitty cars or we just decided that 9 miles of WOT was enough and shut it down.

i cant believe how many morons drove stock GTs to 140+, especially since it takes years to get there.

why the hell would anyone want to go 140 mph in the first place....im not trying to be a dick but i laugh at the fact that some people will base their gear choices on what their top speed will be....im pretty sure no one is running out of gear in the quarter mile on this thread

My 95 TA with a 6 speed took forever to go from 100-125. it had almost 280rwhp with heads and exhaust. I seriously doubt my Bullitt would get to 140+ in my lifetime. it barely pulls above 100...I drove a buddy's 08 GT with the full ford racing catalog of parts on it (360 ish hp) and it topped out at 150. took a couple miles to get there from 80...

right? how often do you really go above 90 on the street? or 110 on the track? I laugh at people when they tell me 4:10s will lose them too much top end...

i trap over 110 at the track. just under 120.

drazga97 · April 21st, 2010, 09:42 AM

getting to 140+ with 500+rwhp is alot different than with 250rwhp. you spend probably half the time getting there, which leaves less time for something to go wrong. especially from 110-140.
