Lol!

You should take your truck to the track sometime

I want to, missed a local half price dyno day I wanted to go to and compare stock to tuned with an egr delete and new exhaust that I was gonna dyno later that's been sitting in my garage for about 2 months now. I gotta get it installed but haven't had time. Asked a mechanic and he says over $1000 to install, **** that I'll do it myself, ain't that difficult, just need time, lol

 

I achieved 130 with my 6.7. She was still going up but egts were at 1200 and climbing as will so I stopped there.

 

At 90mph on the interstate my 2012 Super Duty is perfectly stable and feels fine. This is even a New England interstate with hills and curves, and double fall lines. Its no Ferrari, but for what it is Ford has made it very stable.

 

I'm happy your IP address places you far, far away from me or any of my loved ones. Sadly this isn't true for everyone.

 

Mmine does around 30 miles at 79mph (fines are way way higher if you go over 80=reckless) and handles great sucks down the gas though

 

You'd be way better off if I was one of the ones that was closer cause unlike most I actually know how to drive, have tons of experience and don't do dumb **** like that around other traffic

 

I don't have a 6.2 but in my truck I have a problem staying under 75-80. Hit limiter at 95-96 plenty of times without noticing, just start pushing more and don't end up going anywhere.

 

I've had mine past 130mph in 5th gear with 6th still available. It handles very well above 100. These truck stock govern at 98mph

 

No it doesn't. There's nothing about these trucks that lend themselves to handling well at high speeds. Solid axles, leaf springs, heavy tires and wheels, high center of gravity, etc. Did you read all the posts about not twitching the steering wheel? To handle well, you must be able to turn. Going in a straight line by the grace of God doesn't count.

That being said, I'll set the cruise at 85 or 90 and run all day long comfortably.

 

Ty’s comfort zone is certainly higher than mine, but he’s got a point. Anything with correct alignment and a properly functioning driveline will feel stable until you have to turn. A Super duty is the one of the last vehicles I would want to be riding in at that speed.

 

Especially with the original 99-16 cab that loves to pancake to the window sills in a rollover...

Truck runs 80 fine on good highways, but add a few too many potholes and it jumps all over. Then the pictures of several wrecks start floating up, including several member's here, and it's not worth it. These older SD cabs are coffins in rollovers. '17+ common cab is the best safety upgrade the SD has ever gotten.

how in anyone's mind.. can going 100 plus on a public road... safe...... misjudge a curve.. go 1000 feet into a house....
much less in a 7,000 pound truck.
I had super bike school classes..

and attended many Track Days... 155 at mid-ohio scc. on a motorcycle.

my drivers license is to valuable to me to due high speed on public roads.
my opinion.

 

My old V10 ('02 cclb with programmer and exhaust) loved 70mph. It didn't matter if you were in a 50 or a 75mph zone. It wanted to go 70. It was completely composed and stable there. That's just the speed that felt right for it. I've had it over 100. I couldn't help but test whether or not the programmer actually deleted the speed limiter. 70 was the sweet spot though. My current V10 isn't in as big of a hurry. Difference being stock, short bed, and 3:73s (old one had 4:30). This one seems happy with going the speed limit. I'll even catch myself going under the speed limit and have to speed up. I assume it's the gearing (same size tires). Could just be that I'ma decade older

 

We'll probably get to the point that 90-100mph speed limits are legal on certain highways. Texas is 80 for good stretches if I-10, and even 85 on one toll road. But those are good, big concrete interstate spec roads in rural areas. Not the same as the 405 in LA.
