You'll have to get a handheld tuner or a chip.

+1 jgt...... Why would you want to take it off? Most do, but it's usually for track purposes. If you want to go faster, I would suggest getting the proper tires and inspect your drivetrain. Safety is the key, and you don't want something to go wrong at 120mph.......

Yea there really is no point until you have upgrades put in that will allow you to SAFELY go over 115. Removing the speed limiter is like removing your rev limiter. Your engine won't be happy running at 8000 RPM.

Mine is a '95 GT,and when I had it tuned,the tuner told me there was no speed limiter,only the rev limiter..I know it's a different computer and all,but the same thing still may apply (?)

The newer models have a speed limiter at 115 MPH.

I like the V6. its just that is very limited to everything that does with HP or speed.

My '01 ZRT600 that I sold when I moved here used to rip up the trails too. Talk about pickup......

There are plenty of mods you can do on your '05. You just need to "pay the piper."

Just a question... why do you want to go over 115 anyways? Are you taking it to the track? And if so, can you actually get it over 115 in the distance you are driving on? Most folks take their Mustangs to a drag strip, not an oval or road track.

If it is to go over 115 on the streets or highway, the problem isn't the speed of the car, but the desires of the driver IMHO.

That's cool and all but "safety" was meant as in running your engine in a SAFE way, not exceeding its capabilities, blowing it up...

Well on the road-racing track, I will be racing with exotic cars that go down each straight at about 276kph. this would include corvettes, vipers, porsches, audi, Ford GT40's, and CAV GT40's, wimpy ferrari, and stupidly slow lambos. The only mustangs that can even keep up with the main pack, are mod-GTs, Saleen GTs, Roush GTs.

soo, I need to go faster. PLus, 115 mph isnt even "fast". .....
There will always be V6 mustangs, the GT V8 however is on its last few laps.

gt v8 on its last laps?

where did you get that?

besides driving 115+ down a straightaway isnt really racing, its just 2 idiots speeding

take their advice get safety upgrades then flash your chip

and get performance too otherwise youll get to 120 in a stock or so lol

+5mph for a $500 tune? not worth it
