ive had my 93 5.2 up to 125 before, was racing an f150
Did you win or did the F150 breakdown?

If I were a cop looking for people to bust in my area, this would be the place to go. I'd read the ones that were in my area and then I'd wait one night when you least expect it.

When I had my 94 Grand Am GT, I had it 110 before the gov kicked in. I was racing with 5 other cars going from Virginia Beach VA, to Arlington. I had a CB so I kept the road as clear as I could so no accidents would happen. There was a 3000 GT, Geo Storm and S10 and a couple of others I don't remember. It was fun.

mine cuts out at 99mph? hit it many times
I wonder if they backed the limiter down to 98 mph in '06. That would suck...
Are you sure your truck doesn'tjust stop accelerating? lol

Idk I'd like to top it out, but I'm too scared... I always see cops and I'm getting such an insurance break with a clean record and bein on my parents policy...hehehe... anyway if I get a ticket my insurance will sky rocket and my parents will kick me off their policy...sooo yeah...

I remember racin' my friends hemi passed the limiters. He stopped at 108 and I thought I stopped at 118, maybe it was only 112?. Either way I was walkin' away after that hemi stopped at 108. Gotta love these Northern Michigan open roads!

I'll do another top speed test this weekend.
