Removing Speed Limiting in Vert

[toro1966]

So I am debating on the vert or coupe. No question this is the car I want, but I loved my '03 10th vert. My biggest problem with the '13 vert, and admittedly it's a little OCD, is that I don't like limited anything...

Any chance a tune could remove the 155 speed limiting on the vert?

Yes....well works on most cars, will probably be the same on this

Do you not think its limited to 155 for a reason....maybe no downforce to hold it on the road at higher speeds? Just a thought, but what do I know??

I mean...dont you think that maybe, just maybe there is a reason why Ford limited the vert to 155mph? You really want to go faster than that in a convertible mustang?

beat me to it

I think in the OP it was more of a limit thing. Just didn't want a limit on it at all like the coupe

what do you think will happen? flip upside and barrel roll? how much security do you think the metal roof provides at 155+? probably better off in the glass roof, those corner braces look solid. some folks have been that fast in a less capable vehicle with the top down. the 95mph rev limiter on my f-350 bugs the hell out of me in certain situations and there is no reason for an 8500lb truck to do more... not saying i want to or will go 1??

i'd just like to see some vid of 4 people in a vert with the top down doing 185+. now that'd be entertaining. probably rather not be one of those 4 though. America rocks!

I wouldn't go over 150 with the top up.

why???

liability, the mustang doesn't have an active or passive "roll over protection system" like the dodge viper and most other exotics, and every european premium/luxury brand convertible i can think of. could also be that the top can't withstand the forces at that speed as well. it's not because the convertible will instantly flip over if you hit 156MPH.

Thanks for all of the replies guys. As some mentioned, I don't intend on blowing down the highway at 200mph. Additionally, as we all know, there aren't many tracks that would even allow you to run a convertible. Again, I just like knowing that I could remove it if I wanted to. Truthfully, I spend far more time cruising around then I do on the track, so it looks like it will probably be vert for me! Thanks again. Appreciate all of the responses.

Who said anything about flipping or barrel rolling?? All I said was something to do with down force maybe. Perhaps its not aerodynamically "sound" above 155 and gets squirrelly, thus becoming a liability as stated above.
BTW, I got the glass roof so I feel a lot safer now!!

Your going to have to remove it, if you want a dyne tune.
