Went 172mph in my 08 Mustang. Boosting in 5th with the stock bottom end was foolish. One of my goals is to break 200mph in my Mustang. That's after I put the cage in it though.

G, you can hold the camera!

I don't know did many blasts up to 160 mph ( limiter) in a very stable feeling 2011 SVTPP GT500 of unnamed ownership in Mexico. But 200 mph is a different story my dream has always been to open road race and do something like the Silver State Challenge.

When I did 176 in Mexico it was an impromptu MAN vs MAN battle of wills with a Kleeman Stage 3 E55 ( 550 hp +). It was stupid since the top was off and the wind was insane at those speeds. It had pedal left , I am thinking 200 mph would have been possible. But I was not lifting until I won or he lifted, I was caught naked with no bottle and we were even for what seemed like an eternity.

I call that feeling the Red Mist of Death basically you will do anything to win, your self preservation instincts go out the window. Its you and the machine as one , your senses are heightened and you focus and clarity is pure. Its a drug I tell you its a drug!

That was done in a car not too different from the one you now own.

I burried the 120 mph speedo with a stock 302 in my 78 Mustang II with 4 people in the car. I did have a 4 barrel. That was the only mod. It was on that day I learned what a burnt tranny smelt like.

I plan to make a trip to the salt flats or a couple other dry lake beds to do some speed testing with mine next year after the six speed, gears, IRS swap and a few other upcoming mods.

I ever get my paid off and built the way I want thats what I would do too always wanted to run the salt flats

Many memories of my 93LX convertible burying the needle past 140 and having to let off because the roof was trying to do it's interpretation of a fighter jet canopy being ejected! Those tiny screws never held the top down to the frame at high speed. Those that have driven a fox convertible at high speed know what I'm talkin about.
