Got up to 125 in a 5.0 mustang GT convertible on a long straight patch of I-69 between Port Huron and Flint. Scared the crap outta me.

I had a 2000 Mustang GT convertible and got it up to about 140 or so on hwy 101 going up the WA coast on a nice long stretch of unoccupied road. With the top down the roar of the wind was so loud I couldn't even hear the stereo (AC/DC Back in Black) anymore. But I must say that it felt solid... In fact, better at 115+ than at 90 or less. The aerodynamic effect, the "kush" pressing down on the car didn't really kick in until I got it over 105 or so... And from there on out it just squatted lower and got more solidly fixed to the road with more speed. Mmmm... Was a fun day. :-)

I did 100 mph for a short distance on a highway in VA in my 2010 V8 Mustang a month or so ago and I’d swear I wasn’t doing much over 60 if I didn’t know better.
