142 through the traps at the strip. On the highway, I pegged the 160mph speedo. It was ~5,700rpm in 5th which is ~175mph. That was enough as I had the feeling the convertible top was about to go flying. ---

I’ve only been to 115-120 in the Thunderbird.Only because the driveshaft isn’t suppose to handle anything past 105 with a 3.27 final drive and I have 3.73 so I really shouldn’t be drivin faster than 93mph.I’ll replace the driveshaft and try again.The car has no governer and will be able to hit 140mph on stock suspension and gear ratio in the tranny. ---

I have a feeling there are some very inaccurate speedometers in many of the cars here… Mine told me I was going high 150’s and still had rpm to spare…but I’m not gonna claim that as being too accurate. ---

[/quote] You’re one of the few who seems legit…I’m talking of some of the cars claiming 160+. My car also has proper speedo gears so, in theory, mine is correct. But at speeds that high I have a feeling it’s accuracy is lost. Same thing happens with snowmobiles when a speedo will be pegged at 120mph but gps records them at 97mph… ---
