Every Cobra I've ever tuned has had a top speed limiter.
Ford often does their top speed limiters very "softly"
In other words, you may not realize you've hit it...you may just think you have run out of HP to beat the drag.
Some Fords come in more abrubt than others but you often can't tell...it's like you run out of pedal but theres more pedal left that does nothing.
It's the same feel as running out of HP.
GM is ridiculous...
I almost lost control of a Chevy express van (maybe thats an exaggeration =) when it hit 98 MPH
There was a loud noise, a very sudden drop of 15 MPH and it wouldn't let me accelerate again until I was below 85 for a few seconds. It was startling because it cut off all at once.
Ford often comes in gradually and will come in at different times on the same car depending on how aggressive you are with the throttle and what position the throttle is at before you hit the limiter.

Being stationed in Germany I do cruise in the Autobahn and TERRORIZE BMWs, Benz and all types of Euro trash daily. I can tell you by running Autobahn3, A5, A6, A67, A8 and A91 I have been able to hit pass the 160 MPH mark, peg down into the little "black" stub at the bottom of the spedo and the car continues to accelerate (slowly, but accelerating).
See my sig for mods and power levels. A stock Cobra will be limited to RPM with stock gears in 4th reaching o/a 150-155MPH and limited by drag o/a 140-145MPH in 5th gear.
With my 3.73s I have been able to hit o/a 5600RPMS in 5th gear, do the math and if you take drag into consideration then 165MPH++ is it. Yes, my speedo has been calibrated by a chip and a speed Cal, plus RPMs don't lie.
My bud, Dirk runs a 99 with several mods and 4.10 gears with same result.
Now the wing and splitter is a must!!! I run a Steeda Race wing and I have a Steeda/Cobra R splitter in the mail. The wing does an incredible job on keeping the car under control! Another factor when going that fast is your Stopping power!!! I run Brembo Slotted Rotors and SBS Ceramic Pads and they will stop you over and over again!!! Best mod I have ever done to the car, period!!!
