Usually the last digit on the speedo is not the limit, when you reach the top speed, you can still push the car a lil further....

the speed governor cuts right before 150mph
the car is very stable at high speeds must be the eibachs
i slam on the brakes at 120 as i was slowing down and the brakes just slow to 80mph like nothing..i had no brake at all


i was on the I5 around 4am no one was on the road....

Mustang Cobras are amazing once you remove the speed-limiter, maybe true with any car!
