Hi, my friend has a 2005 Mustang v6, auto, 3 previous owners. We don't know whats been done to it, but it will go about 140-150 mph. The meter was well below the 120, about 2 centimeters below it. It appears stock, no visible modifications.

Any help would be appreciated as we are stumped!

Stock, they are electronically limited to 114mph.

i think its 118 mph
reguardless. death or seriosu injury may occur at 120+ mph. due to the drive shaft fails at about 125 mph.

the car is not made to go +120 was not intended for tripple digit speeds.

it will take alot to even break 114/118 in the quarter... so no since in tampering with it. and if you do that on city streets, or public highways, do us all a favor and sell the car.

Just curious is it the u-joints or the driveshaft itself that fails?

drive shaft i belive where its a 2 piece.

now ive never broken mine, but i upgraded to a shaftmasters 1 piece.

but theres video on youtube of it

 

[davidcseifert]

oh because its a two piece i see, is that what mine came with from factory? if so i think that will be my next mod, along with a safety loop lol

unless u go to the track you really dont need one. money better spent else where

no, its a one-piece

 

[davidcseifert]

no, its a one-piece

so will ours fail as easy as the 2 piece at high speeds?

 

[Markstang]

u-joints probably will..
