I got to the 143 limit on I-94 Indiana. Not gonna lie it was pretty sketchy. But the car was firmly planted in the road

Assuming you can disable the governor? what does it really top out at? 127 was my high. So far...

Just curious what’s the fastest anyone has driven their ST. I hit 135 mph today on the autobahn. Felt good. Still had plenty more to go.

I was stationed in Germany in 1991 and took over an 85' Ford Mustang with a 4 cyl. It topped out at 110-115. Surprisingly I did not blow up the engine. Can you still drive as fast as you want to on the autobahn? Also they were smart and always had red lights in town change to blinking lights at night so you never had to wait.

Some spots are still no speed limit. I drive 120 mph on the way to work. Pretty cool. Drivers are much better here too.

Yes it’s pretty cool. Definitely enjoy cruising at 120 on the autobahn. My HQ is at Sembach. Germany is nice but these lockdowns are getting to me.

I went over their to the large Agritechnica Ag Farm Show in Hanover maybe ? https://www.agritechnica.com/en/ Rental car we had was a clunker, I would red line it and see these LED lights go "blink blink" behind me a longgggggggggggg ways back and the next thing I knew...…. swoosh they were flying by me in a big BMW or Mercedes etc. Saw some new nice Mustangs etc. I loved it, considering going to work for Claas farm equipment and they originate from over there, hopefully I can take my wife someday.

Sorry for the boring story, back on track. Ty

Not boring at all, very true. I was cruising yesterday at 112 mph and had to move over for a Porsche flying by. It’s crazy. These cars here were made to run on the autobahn. The BMW wagons really fly by. Always have to pass on the left and get right back over because there is always someone going faster than you. Fun though.

150 yesterday. The wife was starting to get pissy so I let off.
Was she running behind the car or in the passenger seat? Sorry had to ask.

118 or so coming home from work. I have gone 165 in my old Mustang GT racing a 928 Porsche from State College PA to the Ohio border,that was a blast and kinda scary all the truckers stayed in the right lane for us and we were clean and green to Ohio.

Was going 115 mph on the autobahn today and got passed by a VW. I blew back past him at 135.

Return trip from Florida had a couple miles of no traffic or cops took her to 126 mph before the wife started to freak. Nice smooth ride just some wind noise.
