104 is the governor on mine.
I've been 140 in a subaru impreza. I've never had a floating feeling like that before. It was smooth and no dancing.

125 in my '06 Mustang GT (the hood started "flapping")
90-ish in the Hemi.
95 in my '66, and that was really scary because it doesn't stop well.

I think i beat you all. My dad bought his BMW M6 over in Germany and we toped out at 190 on the autobahn. Scary a$$ $hit. Never again we'll go that fast. But in the truck i've only done 85. I'm still getting used to the power.

105 in the Ram, 145 in the 88 5.0 LX Mustang!!
My Predator says that my top speed limiter is set at 155. I never changed it.

It was so straight you could see for like miles down this thing. So I decided to see what that little 6 cyl was worth. Going that fast with the top down is crazy windy. I slowed down a bit when the car started to dance a little. I could have probably gotten a little more out of her if the top had been up because the wind wouldn't have had such a weird impact on handling.
The first thing I do when come down a long hill is to clear the MPG computer, let off the gas, and poke fun at the ridiculous MPG number. The computer in the Ram seems to be more intelligent than my last car, a 2003 Saab. On the Saab, it would go to 600MPG
