Talking What is the top speed of a 2003 Mustang V6?

Whats up guys, I just got a 2003 Mustang V6 today, and was just wondering how fast it goes. It's a automatic transmission if that makes a difference. I know it has a rev limiter on it, so I would like to know the top speeds with and without the limiter.

If you can answer any or all of this post, please do so.
Thanks guys.

if you have a handheld tuner such as an sct or a diablosport you can remove it.

Unless its on the strip, i wouldn't go over 100, just for safely reasons. Ever hit a large pothole at over 100? Neither have I, and thats why i'm still here haha. Is it just me or at somewhere close to 100 our cars get real floaty feelin?

i would suggest starting off with a CAI from www.americanmuscle.com
just stick with the cheaper $70 generic brand, theyre the same thing as the higher priced name brand ones.
