I don't know of any fox's that feel good over 100....
Seriously though, somewhere between 145-165 depending on mods and altitude, etc.
Fox's get pretty scary over about 130 with stock suspension.

One lonely night on the interstate. Still pulling but I had to let out :-D
It was very stable at that speed but I do not have stock suspension

I have hit 145 pretty easy and it was still pulling, but even though I was in a lonely highway, still would suck getting pulled over at those speeds. It did feel decent though, not as smooth as my 03 Cobra at 160, but not scary either

Looks like your at about 4500 rpm. What gears do you have? Also is the tranny stock.(5th gear)
3.73's at that time with a t-5z tranny.
Now I have 4.10's

Lee - I am surprised the camera flash didn't blind you while going that fast!!
For me - The year was 1994, driving my 93 GT w/ a passenger and three people in the back seat. I hit 140 in 4th gear w/ stock 2:73 .... how utterly dumb I was yet so lucky nothing terrible happened. Now I just drive the speed limit and enjoy the ride.

not a cobra, but 93 lx, 150mph racing a camaro down the 101 in phoenix, not the smartest thing to do but oh well. it was a little sketchy.

It was bright (especially since it was about 9p.m.) but my buddy prepared me a little before he took the picture.
Judging by Lee's post of his tach. Ive gone about 150-155. Not sure my speedo wasnt hooked up at the time. 3:73 gears stock tranny 5200 RPM. Even with good tight suspension it didnt feel to safe on these Ohio crappy highways.
I'm running between 110 and 120 MPH down the track (depending on the traction with street tires) and mine seems smooth as glass but that is on a fairly smooth track in a straight line - might not count. 60K actual miles.
Stock suspension.
blown...

130 with 3:73s, non-stock suspension. Car handled well, however, it felt like the skin was being pulled off. Stock heads, got a little valve float (lean out). My valve springs are about to be replaced...
Just about 137 in the Cobra.
Now the old SHO, that thing went way past the 140 speedo, probably close to 150. Much smoother than the Cobra at that speed.

when i was 17, my brother and me where driving home at 2am. a cop pulled out to pull me over for speeding, so i took off. i had mine bagging off the rev limiter at 7000rpm in 5th gear. the needle was hit the odometer reset. i guess it was about 155-165. i remeber it not being very stable. anyway it was a dumb move and a long time ago. we still laugh about it to this day though.
