I searched the forums and could not find any info about this...

I am sure there is a speed governor on the new mustang, but what is it set at?

C/D says governor limited to 150 MPH. Plenty fast enough for me...

That's too fast. You'll not catch me going one mile over 135.

In my '05 GT by the end of the month

geeeeeeeez I really want one w/o governor, and then go insane on the Autobahn

So all I need is a good plan to get some money. What's that proverb like... "what's the burglary of a bank against the owning of a bank"... or something like that.

Wah, wah, wah. Why buy a fast car if you aren't going to go fast? I think speed-limiters are crap.

Speed limiters are for insurance reasons. If you have tires rated for 149mph, and the vehicle can do 160, your insurance is going to be higher, plus the automaker can be sued if you go >149 and have a tire failure.

Anything over 100mph is way too fast for the street anyway. Save that for the track.
