so today while going down the northway, i went the fastest i have ever gone in my car, 115, before letting off because i was flying by everyone else. i know it's nothing really special but i normally don't even go over 100. but after some curious thoughts i researched the governor on my car and it says it won't let me go faster than 115, even thought the speedo goes to 120. i was just wondering if this was true because it felt like i could have done more. thanks for the feedback!!:D

you went 115 because your car wouldnt go any faster. if there was no governor, you would have gone faster wether or not you want to admit it

i don't consider the highway just a regular road, i don't even think i could reach 115 on the roads around here

If your not on a race track you shouldn't be doing those speeds , as you said your flying by the other cars all it takes is one mistake to ruin peoples lives, and Ny state law is over 100mph and you lose your car along with your license

i was told the governor on my car was set at 95. but Ive maxed out the speedo at over 120mph. so I know mine is either broken or off. yours might be the same

it's not a need, it's a want, i mean what would 5 mph make any difference?? it's not like i will be going over 100. i'm just curious thats all. i never really knew about the governor or what it did.

just because your speedo stops at 120, it doesnt mean your car will top out at it. and jose, lay off the kid. you are no angel yourself. its like me saying to you why did you put a gt kit on your car. its just a six. why didnt you just buy the gt. people do things because they want to. you are an embarrasment to GTs everywhere

correction gt front bumper and a dual exhaust Everyone knows i have a v6 no gt comes with the black stripe on the door. also i didnt buy a gt because i am done driving fast and getting speeding tickets :awesomework:.

And what the irish said is true just because ur speedo tops out doesnt mean ur car is at its limit i had a lexus is300 my speedo stopped at 160 my gps tracked me at 175 before i ran out of highway many years ago.

Did you read the last part many years ago when i was young and thought it was cool my point is you shouldn't be hitting any speeds over 100 whizzing past people, if someone wants to test there car out hit the track or go onto a empty back road in the middle of the night when there are no cars around this way if you crash you only kill yourself. A lot of the MVA's i see when i work are from young people driving way faster than they need to be.

back on topic....


the governor is SUPPOSED to be around 115. But Ive heard of people hitting them at 110, and others who never have hit them. Perhaps somebody could chime in and tell me how the ecu knows when to cut fuel.

But there really is no reason to be going those speeds on public roads. this isnt germany, drivers arent given extensive testing. captain dumbass thats half blind can get a license. You may thing you can handle it, but think about blondie in the next lane doing her nails while texting that decides to cut in front of you.

115mph limit, given you have correct size tires for a V6 Stang. Also, the 96-04 GT's that came with 16" wheels and H-rated tires also have a speed limiter as well.
