It'll run 135+ mph if ungoverned, it's just that the drive shaft won't stay along for the ride.

he is lucky!
I'll try to keep mine under 130 mph. Bwahahaha!
Thing is the driveshafts in the V6 Mustangs have been crap for years, so this should not come as a surprise to anyone... But 135 MPH is an improvement... they used to come apart at about 120 MPH! LOL
I heard the 5.0 driveshaft has about 25 pound "balancer", and some race shops remove it to save weight ?
Anybody know about this?
Thanks
It's a two piece drive shaft, the mod of choice seems to be to go to a one piece light weight drive shaft.
A drive shaft is not the place to be cheap and start hacking. Spend the money and buy a well made lighter one or don't touch it.
More issues on the V6's driveshaft.

Yea, no kidding. Concur on that! At high rpms, or over 112 mph, is NOT the time to find out if a modified driveshaft is going to stay together.
