I have a 2001 V6 mustang with everything stock except the air filter ( k&n). My car when i "max" it out will only get to around 100-105 and then you feel the car pulling and then letting go. Is there a governor on my car making it do this or is this the "max" speed that my car can go. I also noticed this same thing w/ my parents F-250 and Taurus.

They Will only go so fast, I have a 2001 F150 It will only go 100-105 that is all If I wonted a faster truck I would have gotten a V8, So you see that as fast as it wil go until you spend a little money on it , hope this helps.

the computer has a speed limiter built into it, this protects the manufactor from suits for things like putting on tires that don't match the cars top speed, without it your car would go faster than the tires were designed for.
If you want to go faster, you must upgrade the computer, chassis, and tires

The car speeds are electronically governed with the computer. You will need an aftermarket programmer to change the speed limit setting.
Trade it in for a Shelby, and then don't worry about it. good luck.

Yes it is governored, that way it keeps you from doing severe damage to the engine.

Yep, to save the engine from people like you . Did you know we can find out how fast you were going when it failed?
