Honestly, in Ford's defense, there shouldn't be a situation where you need your Mustang to go above ~80. But then again, look who they're talking to.

I have an '06 V6 and I've pushed the needle to the edge at about 130-133 mph and I've never felt any vibration except for my hood rattling. Now THAT scares the **** out of me.

The weather finally gave me a break to get under my car and I have the retainer clip on my drive shaft U joints. My 06 was built in Aug 06.
What a relief !

While doing the V6 to GT brake conversion I remembered to check my drive shaft for the retainer clips. Yeah! I have them. My pony was build Dec 06.

Here's a photo.

Very happy with my 6 -- with an AA 89 tune (though with timing bumped by me 2 degrees across the board), a PCV air/oil seperator (these things breathe a LOT of oil), $110 eBay shorties, $70 eBay CAI and an MRT muffler, I seem to top out in the high 120s, and the thing is just a blast to drive daily.

Of course, come spring it's twin-turbo time 350whp oughta be enough for me.
