Easy there, hot rod! I was just joking that his priority should be looking into a laser jammer to keep from going to jail. :-D

why is ford putting in shity driveshafts is the good ?..knowing even a v6 has 305hp stock and 400hp in a 5.0 gt and boss why would they put in a crappy driveshaft that cant handle over 120mph and 140mph in a gt, hell 200-300hp v6 nissan altima and maximas, v6 honda accord and toyota avalon and camrys hyundais , kia etc all can handle 130-150mph out the box today. I found it pretty pathetic that with 305hp and the top speed governor was like 112-116 in a v6 and 138-140 in a gt, hell my year 5.0 could do 137-140 bone stock, 150 with no governor or gears only.

I've topped out 5th gear in a 3.31 m6 5.0 w/'13 quads. Not sure if I was doing 150 or over, only looked down once or twice when doing some runs with an 392 charger.
Maybe an indicated 150 but I very much doubt that a bone stock 302 sn95 could hit a true 150 MPH.
^bone stock they were rated 137-140mph in magazine tests. with 3.55 or 3.73 gear swap only ive seen 150mph out of them.
My with my built 306 h/c/i gps verified 171mph. needle pinned past 150+.
So that was my big ? why would ford put a shity driveshaft that cant handle over 120mph in a stock 305hp v6 car and a shity driveshaft that cant handle over 140mph in a 412-444hp new 5.0 gt and boss 302 car ?
hell a new v6family sedan like I stated toyota camry nissan altima nissan maxima hyundai etc all the 200-300hp family sedans are getting 140-155mph top speed bone stock out of brick sedans? :bash:

I'm so glad that there are so many drivers going to tracks to try out the top speed of their cars and not the roads where there are innocent drivers and pedestrians roaming about.
Exactly its stupid to drive like that on the street, only in mexico :beer::thumbsup:
Most of the times the MAN doesn't wanna even try LOL!
At Daytona 157 MPH...........
I've only been around performance cars of about every type for about 40 years, so I probably missed the memo on this rampant problem of valve stems blowing out!?!?! :bs: However, i'm willing to listen to the many documented cases i'm sure you can point to? :bored: Otherwise, i'm calling B.S. by some tire shops selling "Hi-Speed" valve stems!!!
Stock tires, stems, wheels and driveshaft.

I do not know how you went 170 on 3.73 rear end and an MT82. At 7750 rpm and a 285/40/19 rear wheel, my car tops out at 165. I know this from Dyno testing and doing the Mojave Magnum. At 522 rwhp my car will not pull at all in 6th gear at that speed and actually slows down when you shift from 5th to 6th at at 7500 rpm.
Not to mention that even if you could get to 170 in a boss with factory tires/wheels and gearing (which you can't), the crawl to it in 6th gear would require like 10 miles (i.e. a long long ways) of asphalt to do it...
Did i say go screw urself it was in the 50 degree temp range black key and 120 shot
Calculate that shit.
Updated! Got to 162 in 6th gear on slight downhill, could have easily pulled 175 but I ran out of courage . yes I have the one piece drive shaft and no innocent humans were put at risk (gotta love northern nevada)
Calculate that shit.
