So, I was under the impression that the stock stang was electronically limited at 120mph but I know for a fact it can get up in excess of 130mph in 4th. Is the stock vehicle's top speed electronically limited at all? If so at what speed?
When I'm driving hard I'm usually shifting in the 4500 rpm range going from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th and I never really go out of 4th. Where does everyone else shift for all the gears? What rpm do you launch at?
Also I THINK this can be posted in this forum IF not please disregard but:
Are there any cars in the GT's price range that compete with it perfomance/racing wise? Whether it be street or drag racing? I know the 350Z is really quick BUT it also costs a good bit more than a Stang and for the price it better be faster. The GT seems to be in a class of its own somewhat price for performance.
i.e. A 2008 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V-6 6-Spd MT and a 2008 Pontiac G6 GXP Coupe are comparable to a GT in price and they both attempt to be a "sports" car but I have no doubt that a GT could easily handle either of these vehicles in a drag or street race.
Conversley, a GT can not compete with a Corvette or similar vehicle.
So, which group of cars both foreign and domestic would be in the GT Mustang's "weight class"?
AMERICA!
