Has anyone got any top end speed on these new models. Should I trade in my 98 or corvette yet.

electronically limited at 133, but can easily exceed that without a limiter.

I slammed the 140MPH mark and i was still pulling on the BMW next to me ALOT... so i would say the 160MPH to be about right... mine didnt cut out anywhere near 133MPH

Got bigger ****** than I do, I've only had mine up to 120 for just a little bit. Getting caught at that speed will get you buying a bus pass around here.

i was extremely surprised how well it handled. It actually was a smooth ride at that speed even when i passed a state trooper. luckily he didn't try to catch me and pulled right back off to the side of the road. He had a good hiding spot though.

Hello. I see you are new here. Welcome to the boards.



And I call BS. How did you know you were going 154? Your speedo only goes to 140. What kind of GPS do you have?

I've got to second that. And what kind of trooper is going to see a vehicle moving this fast and not do something about it??? And the SHOs GPS doesn't show how fast you are going. At least if it does, I haven't figured out how to do it on mine yet.

Yea, maybe a MI trooper ignored you because they don't have room in their jails for you right now, but otherwise I call BS too. Ford and all of the media that tested the new SHO claim an electronically linter 133 mph top speed.
