Sorry if everyone thought I was being cocky. We just have a Mustang problem here and its amazing to me that I beat him. There were other people who saw it and they were suprized to. It may have been luck, he may have sucked, or maybe the engine was a piece. All I know is he was racing, and I won. Straight road, I know he would have killed me it has happened before. Sorry if you guys thought I was trying to act all bad.

I have had mine to about 145. It will do the MPH limit in 5th gear, and there are six gears in the car.  It felt much more stable than my GT did at 140, but as all Mustangs it's said to get light at about 160+ It's quite a bit lower than a stock GT so that helps keep too much air from getting under it. However without a Cobra R wing and a front air splitter I wouldn't be too keen on going over 150 from what other owners have told me. Doug, your last post sounds much more reasonable than your first. The thread is titled I "spanked" a GT. That's why I couldn't just let this one lie. Congrats on the win. Man I hope my parts for the hatch come in today. I wanna tinker this weekend.

well the GTs aren't exactly stellar performers. I believe they have a 4.6L V8, but it only generates 177 horse. That's pathetic. On one of those mechanic's shows on TNN one time they dropped 3000 into performance shit on a 96 mustang GT and only got it up to 220 horse. Hell the exhaust alone was like 1300 without install. the only thing they have going for them is displacement, and they dont' even take advantage of that.
B16 = 100hp per liter at the crank (first mass production motor to do this i believe) GT = 38hp per liter at the wheels.... c'mon... SO much displacement with SO much capacity for horsepower.

and as far as handling, its using 1970s technology there. and some people might think "if it aint broke, dont fix it" but in this case i disagree. with all the advancements in independant suspensions and wishbones and whatnot, why does Ford still use the same platform for so long? i think its crap keep in mind im talking about the GT, and not any Cobra variants. cause i know they put independant on some of them.

My thoughts exactly...
They were good.....when the design was new.....like in 420 b.c. hahaha....god damn dinosaurs. Speaking of which, WTF is up with the new line of Honda's?? Why in the hell did they go to the shitty MacPherson Setup??? Cheap pieces of shit. What was wrong with double wishbone? That ford focus looking turd isn't worthy of the "Si" badging.

I have no idea what they were, but they would usually give up at about that point. Obviously, Im not going to walk a cobra or something of that nature
 The zc Pm7 has a limiter of 115mph on it, which is what I have now. But In my first Si, I had the 88-89 Integra pg7, with no limiter. I have to estimate, understand because all civic speedos stop at 130. All I know is that one day I wanted to see just how fast I could get it to. I ended up pinning the needle at about 6 grand in 3rd gear. I let off in 5th at about 5grand, because the car had bad struts and was starting to get a little light if you know what i mean.  I dont know what your experience has been, but my zc had very strong top end. I'd say the best "kill" would have to be this older Mercedes CLK (probably like 94) on the turnpike. He was pissed, because I let him stay with me, then I would just take off and leave him. hahahaha...
