Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / September 20065.0 MUSTANG TOP END? Just Curious...
This isn't that big of a deal, but I own a lightly modified 90 Mustang GT and my buddies keep asking me what the top speed is on it. I ussually tell them probably around 140. It still retains the stock 3.08 gears and its got all of the popular bolt-ons (shorty headers, Flowmaster mufflers, underdrive pulleys, custom MAF, K and N filter) What do you guys think? I just want a rough idea. As far as I know, the top published on a stock 5.0 is 134 mph. Never gotten a chance to test it though Clark > As far as I know, the top published on a stock 5.0 is 134 mph.

You must have had a mechanical issue going on. Patrick > This isn't that big of a deal, but I own a lightly modified 90 Mustang > GT and my buddies keep asking me what the top speed is on it.

I just want a rough idea. I think you're on target. The highest speed I've seen posted in a magazine was for a '87 GT. It ran 148. But most magazine tests showed 135-140, including the '93 Cobra.

When my '89 LX was basically stock I had it up to about 135 mph on a deserted stretch of I-66 early one morning. I swear the sunroof would have been sucked off the car had I gone any faster. > This isn't that big of a deal, but I own a lightly modified 90 Mustang > GT and my buddies keep asking me what the top speed is on it.

At least, that's where the speedometer stopped. dwight >> This isn't that big of a deal, but I own a lightly modified 90 Mustang >> GT and my buddies keep asking me what the top speed is on it.

I just want a rough idea. If you want to know exactly, why not take it out on the freeway early in the morning and open it up. The friendly, helpful highway patrolman will not only tell you how fast it goes but will give you a nice certificate that you can frame. <GD&R> |
