i believe it was 160 on my car, it would go past 155 then cut out. when i bought hptuners, i changed the speedo to 170, thinking i'd never try for it, but i did, and it cut out @ 6100 or 6200 rpm in 5th, that was with 3.73s and i also had my limiter raised to 6400. she still had a lil more to go in 5th! lol

Well, capn smokey has taken his third gen to 200+ mph, so you should easily smoke him. Maybe 240mph is in your grasp!

3.73s ***.

And my car pulls all the way to the 162 MPH redline.

And will hold 155 in 6th.

This is theoretical though.
