I have a heavy foot and I know what you mean about the cruise. And rarely do I cruise that fast, but I've been on some long trips on nice open roads with no traffic (at night). That's the only time I run that fast, not worth the risk around any other dip**** drivers. Oh and I have a radar detector which has saved my *** a few times. Except for that one time I forgot to turn it on..... She's also on a canned 91 tune so no governor either.

Yeah, when the light come on it means there's roughly 3 gallons left.

I got just a shade under 19 when I did a 100% freeway drive last summer. I damn near took out a page in the newspaper I was so happy.

Stock speed limiter is 105.if you get goin that fast you will feel it kick on. If you take it off with a tune you still can only go about 120.

Lol. I was saying in comparison to mostly driving sports cars.. But I know a couple 5.0's that will go 140 with a tune. Same with 6.2's. Then again they are not 16 years old. Lol. But yes 120 is definitely movin.

I saw a video where they got a stock mustang gt (5.0) to hit 200 on a straight track with messing with the cars aero
