Mustang Club of America (Taken in December '09)


Pony Package(Taken in March '10)

Not sure if both stangs gauges read 160 now, but i thought that was interesting. Any one know if the MCA reads 140mph or 160mph?

They were probably using a 2010 instrument cluster on a pre-production car. I would bet you will see the 160's on all models.

 

I'd say to look for the second gauge pic in all models.

 

My thought exactly. When they were putting the prototype together they probably didn't have a 2011 gauge cluster ready yet.

 

V6 speedo will go 160 also? My '10 only goes to 120.

 

yes I'm pretty sure the V6 speedo also goes to 160 . . . kinda wish it didn't, the last 1/3 is pretty much useless in the real world and it makes all the marks too close together to read easily

 

Yeah, but I think the 2010 V6 speed limiter is set to 110 too, I'm sure the 2011 will be 149 just like the 5.0.

 

In some review I just read a couple of days ago it said that the governor for the 2011 GT will be set at 155mph. I haven't read where they will set it for the V6. For 2010, I believe the standard tires were only T rated (118 mph). If they are still using those as the standard tires I don't think they'll change the governor. Hopefully though, even the cheapest V6 for 2011 will have at least H (130 mph) tires if not V (149). I'd like to see them use V rated and set the governor at about 140-145 mph.

 

The base 17" AT & MT V6 tires are still "S" speed rated, so YES these will get the 115 MPH Govenor.

But "HOPEFULLY" when you get the optional "W" speed 18's or the PP 19's the govenor gets tweeked to match the GT.

This is how it works on the V6 Camaro ... 1LS only comes with the base "S" rated tires so it only comes with the 115 MPH limiter. The base 1LT also comes with the 18's std. (but on alum whls) and the 115 MPH limiter but if you order the opt. 19's or RS pkg 20's you get the higher limiter of the 2LT & SS (149 or whatever).

So far, I've found this picture of the full V6 cluster. You can tell it's the V6 because of the 6850 RPM red line. Not sure if it's the MCA edition. Still digging.

 

I checked the 2011 owner's manual. The illustrations show 160MPH speedo's for both V6 and GT. No mention of a 140MPH version.

 

Doesn't the V8 have the same redline?

 

No one seems to know what the redline is supposed to be on the V8. heh. I started a thread specifically on the redline for the GT a number of days ago. But all reports so far have it in the 6800 to 7000 range.

 

2010 V6 has a 120 mph speedometer...



And it is limited to 113 (according to my gps)...

 

lol.. do you have the cruse control on?

 

2010 GT had a 140 speedo, that most likely what had been slapped on.

you and I sir would get along, I thought I was the only one that sets his cruise control well north of 110......

 

The MCA reads 160 for the speedo.

 

Well, the advantages of doing that legally... (Autobahn) :-)

Considering taking off the limiter, now that I have better brakes, but def. have to take it in for a service, wanna make sure I don't have any transmission parts hitting me through the center console at those speeds...
