Not exactly sure, but probably just over 100, the hood shake is just a little distracting at that kind of speed. I'm addicted to the acceleration, not the top speed.

I have hit 130 in my stage 1 Roush. No drama. I went 150 in my 68 GTO, big drama.

at the 100 your hood shakes??

i drove up to 160km (100miles) alot of times never notice the vibrations of the hood

I drove up to 230km once (143miles) (+-) 5kms i wasn't watching the speedometer, i was watching the road...........

Removed the speed limiter from my red 05 GT with a Diablo and she went right to the 140 mark. She felt like she was accelerating just a bit more, but i got skiddish and let off it. Do not like running that kind of speed for more than a few minutes. Ran 110 - 120 mph many times in her on the highway. Interesting that before the Diablo, she would hesitate going faster upon reaching 130. The Ford Spec says the maximum upshift speed is 127 mph.

The grey Roush seen 130 mph the first nite i had her. There was 140 miles on. Ran her at gradual varying speeds ranging from 80 to 130 mph that night.

My estimate at top speed would therefore be in the range of 140 - 150.

The only time I have ever have hood shake is at 70+ passing Semi-trucks going the opposite direction.
I have hit 110+ with no hood shake whatsoever.
