What's the top speed on these things?

[Golfboyryan]

@punchmaster123

Im not sure how fast these things can go at full speed, but I do know that the speedometers go up to 140 mph.

Dude, how much is a rotor!?

[Golfboyryan]

@WhatTheHellsAGigawat The car is fixed and on the road now. It was actually the calipers that were bad, the rotors were fine. We got the old original rotors turned down and got new calipers and break hoses. This old horse loves to be driven!

[Golfboyryan]

[kffive]

@EXTIQUE Right! You will know I'm not that guy if you see my 85.5



[kffive]

@punchmaster123 My 85 1/2 top was 145.

@AnAbortiveRomance Well, Ford is planning a new 2015 SVO ecotech.

Looks like in the video, the old girl still has Goodyear Egle GT Gatorbacks on it. Cool.

What a car back in the day. I hope the new SVO that is coming out will be as innovative as the older version was for it's time. It would be a shame for ford to pull stuff out of the parts bin and make up a car and call it an SVO.

100mph in a car with no brakes, that I can take........but the asshole that was filming needs to be punched right in the balls!  What a waste of film.....

[details78]

It has 28 thousand, 7 hundred, and 46 thousand miles on it........

Great to see the old girl stretch her legs. I also have a 85.5 SVO in Canyon Red with cloth seats. She's been down since '93! Damaged by a hit and run but on the mend. Started sporadically in my yard but full of great memories. Shot down a few 5.0's, T/A's, Camaro's and Conquests in my day. Hoping to bring her out to Detroit for the Mustang 50th Anniversary celebration in 2014.

@punchmaster123 144 M.P.H. TOP SPEED!!

[AnAbortiveRomance]

....and interestingly enough, my parents had an 86 for a while. It had a boost cut out, or something that prevented the speeds I achieved in the 84. I only got it up to around 130. It also got much worse gas mileage. It was a bit quicker off the line though and the turbo on it seemed punchier. The turbo on the 84 had a slower but more intense build.
