You're absolutely right. Sorry about that. I apologize.

I have a 95' Ford Taurs Gl with a flowmaster and cold air intake from AutoZone lol and it comes no where near 140mph, however my 96' 5-speed SHO with Dual Flows and blower can make that in a hurry (for a taurus)

A couple of years back I got pulled over by a CHP officer who was using a Laser Speed Detector (replaced radar I guess), it was a little after 1 am, and I thought I was alone on the road, a nice flat stretch of highway that runs between san diego bay and the pacific ocean, well anyway I jumped at a red light and maxed out my speedo, which is only 85, even at 85 it continued to accel, so I went with it, and eventually saw him sitting up ahead on the side of the road, flashing his lights, so i pulled off, he said i was going 120, and if my taurus (toaster as i call it) were any other model, (im sure he meant sho) i'd be going to jail then and there. Instead i got a big fat ticket, a judge called me crazy, and they suspended my license for 2 weeks. Good thing they have a class that you can go to that keeps the points off. So my Question is, was that cop full of $h*t?, or have you guys ever had a chance to really max out your rides? I drive a 95 3.8L.

with the 3.8L, I can see that as a posibility. its virtually near to the same 3.8L used in the stangs.

as for your punishment, your lucky. here, if your caught over 100, its automatically a 30 day suspension if the roads are empty (like you said they were), and a 6mo is the roads have any traffic.

It's amazing how a human being can post a thread while they are dreaming. This guy should be studied!

lol when he said he would've arrested you if it were any other model, he probably meant that he didn't think a taurus could go 120 so his radar must have been wrong.

he was driving in Oregon on highway "140"............lol

[daveshapellSVT]

I have a vulcan taurus and i doubt they do more then 100. I'm sure they have a governor thats limited at like 110 or around there. I had a 99 cobra that ran 13.3@106mph and i raced a superchargered sho from a roll to over 150mph. ten years later and looking back, i realize that was the single dumbest thing i've done to risk my life lol
