I'd NEVER try this in Oregon these days. From a Mustang board. The poster will remain anonymous, but yeah...retired cop.



OK gang I took the risk, my life, my car, my license...

Early this morning I was on a open stretch of Interstate with no traffic and I decided to drop the hammer on 3928 since I had my Garmin turned on. At about 130 I shifted to 5th gear and continued to climb until 156! As the car approached a slight elevation of the interstate I figured that would be it, but to my surprise 157 popped up on the GPS display, I looked at the speedo which was beyond the 145 mark and back at the road observing traffic just ahead and lifted. After slowing to a safe speed I notice the GPS in the passenger seat was now reading reading 158 for max speed.

Ford claims top speed is 151mph, and the only thing different from stock is Brenspeed 93 octane program, Drive shaft (Shaftmasters), Steeda pulleys, BBR trailing arms and KR Mufflers. It may have pulled out another mph or two but that would be about it's limit. The road noise was wicked! The fastest I've been on the road was 164mph in a corvette back in the late 90's.

What you have read is by a trained expert dump a**! So don't do this at home!

At the time of completing this stunt the car was stable, but alot of harmonic noise transfering from the drive line at 135 and above. I think it maybe the shaft transfering the road noise by way of the Hurst shifter. But no vibrations were felt from the noise, so I kept going! I think with the shifter and drive shaft there is no longer anything to isolate the road noise at high speeds. The car actually performed above my expectations as I expected 156 to be it's limit.

So there it is my early morning (2am) road test of my 2008 Bullitt with now showing 18,912 miles on a well lit section of interstate. Remember KIDS! Don't try this at home!
