05-07 V6 are capped at 115.

Of course, faster than that and the drive shaft explodes...

Fun.

ChrisJ · March 29th, 2007, 03:42 PM

Personally I would not take the car back from them till it is fixed...

Who the F*** told you that bullsh**???? a driveshaft doesnt explode!! You arent really that gullable are you?? Hey, did you know when you put your window down and floor the gas your car can actually do a backflip.. im serious..its a pretty cool trick.

Factory speed limitors are many times based upon the tire ratings. The drive shaft story is just bs.

SOHCman · March 29th, 2007, 06:13 PM

No lie.

The 2005 driveshafts have U-joints that are peened together.

2006 and 2007 have "C" clips.

Full nasty details:

I still don't trust my 2006.

2 piece driveshaft?

Maybe on a E350 SD extended, but a freakin' Mustang?

Why?

Especially if they are not safe past 115 in a sports car.

Looks broken to me...

SOHCman · March 29th, 2007, 06:28 PM

Unless that's Ford's better idea to prevent "pole-vaulting" your Mustang when the 05 u-joint lets go at speed!

ya i did, i watched it go to 120 then i backed off

WLJohnson05 · March 29th, 2007, 06:43 PM

wow that snapped drive shaft looks like what my bro did to his on his old nova...but that thing is just a lil bit faster than my sixxer haha ...he has a 408 in the nova im pretty sure

tomzac · March 29th, 2007, 06:44 PM

Ouch. And the aftermarket aluminum ds for the 05+ are $450-$500.

VSR13 · March 29th, 2007, 06:45 PM

i've topped mine out at 120 also wit the digital speedo set...so that's wat the actual comp was reading

i retreact my smartass comment. But c'mon man, that driveshaft aint broke. Nothing a little JB weld cant fix.

Johnson, they must of changed the governors on them then. They used to only top at 117
