5.0 MUSTANG TOP END? Just Curious...
This isn't that big of a deal, but I own a lightly modified 90 Mustang
GT and my buddies keep asking me what the top speed is on it. I ussually tell them probably around 140. It still retains the stock 3.08 gears and its got all of the popular bolt-ons (shorty headers, Flowmaster mufflers, underdrive pulleys, custom MAF, K and N filter) What do you guys think? I just want a rough idea. |

As far as I know, the top published on a stock 5.0 is 134 mph. Never
gotten a chance to test it though Clark |

I just want a rough idea. I think you're on target. The highest speed I've seen posted in a magazine was for a '87 GT. It ran 148. But most magazine tests showed 135-140, including the '93 Cobra.

I just want a rough idea. When my '89 LX was basically stock I had it up to about 135 mph on a deserted stretch of I-66 early one morning. I swear the sunroof would have been sucked off the car had I gone any faster. |

You must have had a mechanical issue going on. Patrick |

I just want a rough idea. As I remember, my '84 LX 5.0's top speed was 85. At least, that's where the speedometer stopped. dwight |
