No radar detector laws in Texas, but I think being caught going over 100mph is an instant "Go Directly to Jail" card as involuntary attempted manslaughter.

I agree 140/145 is plenty on the speedometer. I didn't think the current GT speedos went to 150 anyway, but I obviously could be wrong.

I was all set to go order a 2005 Mustang GT today, but that 145 MPH speedo. is a show stopper. :cop:
No way will I ever own a car that has less than a 150 MPH speedo. :crazy:

There are some great top speed calculators on the Internet. Using 290 rwhp, 3475 lbs, 3.55 final drive, some reasearch on what OD the 17" tires are, maybe a few guesses on RPM at speed, you can get several estimates of any vehicles top speed.
Here are a few calcualtor links. Do a serach for more:

Making sense of the varying results from these calculators will help kill time until your car is delivered!

What kind of aftermarket parts can you get to increase the top speed...
And, how the heck do you take out the stupidass governor!?

The governor is usually removed by either reflashing the stock chip, or getting a new one.

Too bad I can't even get close to that fast in Ohio. Did you all know we have the 2nd largest highway patrol? I'm told CA has the largest. Seriously, on a strip of highway near my house about 3 mi. long I've seen 4 state cruisers? And they ticket for 5...5! over the limit. I have dreams about driving out west.

Was out in Montana not too long ago -- outside of Great Falls, with time to kill, in a crummy rental car. Got it to 115 (downhill), no desire to go faster in that thing ( I forget, was it a Malibu?) -- Never even saw another vehicle.

i went over 90mph in my old VW Golf,,,,,,and i would not recommend doing that in a small car like that! Darn thing was shaking and rattling like crazy. Felt like i was about to flip and crash. Makes me wonder why the speedometer goes up to 120???
