1987 Mustang GT, BTW.
A buck forty-three in a smogged 302?! Wow!

In those late 80s Mustang engines it was pretty easy to get around the emissions equipment.

Actually, it is easy to do.
My 89 Mustang Convertible is speed limited at 147 MPH.
It is not exactly stock but in Calif, losing the smog stuff is not an option.
I once owned a 69 Plymouth GTX (a Road Runner clone) with a 440, 3 - 2 Barrel carbs and a 727 trans that topped out at 163. I once made the Atlanta to Augusta run in under an hour...
They say speed kills, can I do it till I need a bandaid?
Cheers,

Road & Track had clocked the 87 GT at 149 on the track. It was a little "drifty" but relatively stable. The windows would start to get sucked out after about 120mph creating a high pitched whoosing sound. Keep in mind this car cost around $15,500 in 1987. Not a good thing for a 20 yr old to be driving in NJ.
