95or96 is the stock speed limiter, i think it cuts spark to some cyls.I know it feels weird the first time.It could cut fuel also,its one or the other i would think.A superchip tuner from here @ the online store will eliminate it.

What you're experiencing, as V10KLZZ71S indicated, is the governor cut-off. Ford doesn't want us driving the tank that fast (for good reason, too). Many vehicles have them. My mom's BMW lets you actually set the max speed through the on-screen menu -- kind of neat. Again, as the man said above, your solution, should you want one, is to chip the beast.

My 02' does it at 98mph just as I start to keep up with traffic here on the autobahn, I feel the old shutter lets me know to slow the tank down
The expy i've had upto 115 but that's the company truck
I think I'll get a Diablo chip for Christmas

Ooh... Autoboah... I'll never forget taking the rented Benz S class to 140 MPH on the autobhan... now that was fun!
German F-250: Just make sure you upgrade the tires when you get the chip. Standard tires can't take that rate of speed to well, and will eventually fail at the worst time.

Autobahn....
Don't get in a situation where you have to hit the brakes hard at 95mph+ and do an evasive maneuver......
Somehow, I believe the bimmers, benzez, porsches and vee-dubs, etc. etc. are set up a little better to handle that......seen it with my own eyes.
The tire comment is VALID..... Run at 90+ for a while, pull over at a Rasthof and immediately feel your tires.....they won't be cold (as I'm sure you know), and we KNOW how durable stones can be.......
