top speed question!

[burrpenick]

2015 3.7V6 AT w/3.31 rear gear. I hit 120 from 60 at the blink of an eye, thinking that was showing around 4k RPM, but not sure,- that was fast enough for me at age 68! There was STILL alot of revs left, so CURIOUS George would like to hear some of your stories- but please keep them REAL!

60mph to 150mph on a small highway stretch. Didn’t realize I was going that fast at all because I was more focused on shifting

Thanks, and thats moving.........120 was my 'new' high speed! But, I was more interested in what the V6 w/AT w/do with enough time and real estate?

145mph on an empty highway during the peak of covid. It got up there so fast and was still pulling hard when I let off. It sucks Ford limits them to 155mph. I think they could easily do 170-175 stock unrestricted.

Edit: I'm pretty sure the V6's are limited to ~121mph due to driveshaft limitations.

Thats fastest ive ever been in a car was 175 in my old terminator. The fastest ive ever been was on an R1 at 190. Only did that once.. lol

154 mph on a relatively empty motorway. I wanted to see if it was really limited to 155, but I couldn't, because traffic started to build up at that point and I had to slow down.

I've removed the limiter in the meantime but haven't had the chance to test it yet.

I hit the speed governor many times. Quite easy because there are a lot of empty motorways around here, and Italian motorways in the north are exceptionally good.
The 10R doesn't help because it's so fast.

I don't do it regularly and it's quite demanding, you have to be 100% alert all the time. Cruising around 100MPH is the normal, if there is not much traffic. On empty motorways I cruise around 120MPH.

How did you do it? It's possible to do that via Forscan?

Top of the speedometer on A9 going to Nürnberg, Germany from Bayreuth. Scary as mess but car was a dream. I have no idea how fast I actually was going because it caps at 160 on the speedometer. But RPM’s were still going up.

"Globally, it is estimated that 53.4% (95% uncertainty interval (UI) 50.8%–55.9%) of deaths occur at home" ... just saying

They are different variables
I was quoting accidents in cars

If that's a concern, I'm not sure a muscle car is the right car for you.
