Default Mustang GT

So who knew, that although the 04 Mustang GT may beat us off the line, we can take them in the long run because their speed limiter bogs them out at 110, where as ours doesnt stop us until 125. or Not at all if you have a re-programmed ECU, ahahhaa

But how long is this race? It's gonna have to be longer than a 1/4 mile that's for sure.

yep, thats why i said long run. i know this because a friend of mine has an 04 GT, and we were about 250 away from where we had to be, so we were messin with eachother a little bit, although he would take me from say.... 80-110, after that i would be able to catch up, pass and gain some lead on him because thats all he could do. we didnt actually race the whole 250 miles.

well if that's the case, My Accord could take him too cause the limiter was at 112mp

Maybe not

I did hand it to a V6 'stang though. I know it's not thing for a Monte, but my car was a 4 banger. He got me off the line but once I hit 3rd gear it was a wrap!

hmmm..if your friends GT cuts at 110...something is wrong...

over the past 15 or so years, ALL 6 cylinder stangs were goverened to 110, including the new body style.

sorry to say, but..
Car and Driver magazine's road test of the Ford Mustang GT. Standing 1/4-mile: 13.8 sec @ 102 mph Top speed (governor limited): 149 mph. ...
that is copied and pasted.

it was my uinderstanding that in the mid 90s the GTs were also governed, but i have since learn otherwise...

Hmm... Maybe my friend just doesnt know how to drive then, which wouldnt surprise me at all. He did say himself though that he is governed to 110. Unless he is not only a bad driver but stupid as well. Thanks for the info though.
