I have a 1998 with 130k on it, speed limiter in 4th is at 115MPH, I shifted to 5th and got up to 118, but 5th has no power and I wasn't going to go that speed for long...how'd you turn off the speed limiter? reprogramed?

uno what, come to think of it i dont really remember my what rpm i was at, mostly that i was in forth and 90 and he was catching up already so i better stop now. also i remember that when i first got my car i guned it and hit 90and was only at about 4k in 4th, so im sure ur right camarospeedman. and yah it wasnt too smart but its hard to think about that stuff at the time
When people says the car just dies, its for good reason. It only traps ~90 in the 1/4. My friends Civic SI trapped 95ish and ran the same times as I did.
Now I've done 1 top speed run in my stang, and it wasnt even intentional. I just stayed into it for a while. I looked down and I was doing 145, in the time it took to hit 115 in my old camaro.<a href=\"http://pics.projectpredator.com/thumbnails.php?album=16\" target=\"_blank\">2003 Zinc Yellow Mustang GT</a> 1 of 701<br />ET : TBD<br />But our shenanigans are cheeky and fun!

But I can tell you that a 15.2 stock is is on the quicker side of stock Fbody's.
If the 3.8 had a stong top end, it would trap faster then 90. PERIOD. It makes its power in the mid range. Hell, look at some of faster 3.8s, their traps are on the slow side for their times.
Why don't you go drive a fast sports car and get back to me on how 'fast' your car pulls up top.

K, but slightly modded is, motor wise TO ME at least is cai or similiar, exhaust system, tune whatever kind of tune it might be, that basically lists the things I have done to my engine, and I was pretty hard pressed to hit 145 till I ran out of road, you might MIGHT, be able to hit that mark if your already doing 90+mph just look at your odometer and watch how quickly a mile goes by at high speed, sure you might hit 80+mph in the quarter, but remember its a 6cyl....it just doesnt have the balls up top....Now, I have no documented proof to support my claim, other than my own experience, yes I tried when I got my chip. So lets here some sort of evidence to support your claim, if you plan on posting bs, please dont bother.

There is no way the motor has enough power stock to achieve that kind of speed.<a href=\"http://pics.projectpredator.com/thumbnails.php?album=16\" target=\"_blank\">2003 Zinc Yellow Mustang GT</a> 1 of 701<br />ET : TBD<br />But our shenanigans are cheeky and fun!

In an auto at 4k is doing 144MPH at 4500 162MPH and 5k 180.1
Redline for an auto would be 216MPH<a href=\"http://pics.projectpredator.com/thumbnails.php?album=16\" target=\"_blank\">2003 Zinc Yellow Mustang GT</a> 1 of 701<br />ET : TBD<br />But our shenanigans are cheeky and fun! Yeah, and his shenanigans are cruel and tragic. Which... makes t
