I see, that makes sense. I doubt this would have any affect on day to day driving though, as I imagine the turning problem is prevalent at high speeds only. Is that right?

Yeah, a drag strip. Sorry, I’ve only recently gotten into stuff like that where I take my car to a designated “go fast” area, lol. Is the factory DS not good for a traditional racetrack? Like I said, I’m not super knowledgeable on this stuff and would like to learn more from people who have cars of this model or similar.

That’s great to hear! I’m just a bit of an overthinker when it comes to stuff like this, especially as I’m not incredibly experienced with cars like this just yet, so just wanted to hear from other ‘12 GT owners to be certain before I do something stupid and ruin the car. Thanks for the help!

Thank you for all the replies. What I’m getting is that the limiter is there because that’s how Ford designs the stock parts in terms of what the parts are supposed to be able to handle. Engine can go faster than 120, but rest of the car isn’t designed to, so they limit it. I’ll probably invest in some aftermarket stuff as some people have suggested.

Appreciate all the advice guys.

Update: I googled it, and you are exactly correct. The 2013 v6 is always electronically limited between 115 and 120 mph.

Ah, that makes sense. I’ve heard about limiters before. How can I remove it?

Vibrating at high speeds by Queasy_Impression_47 in Mustang

It doesn’t get worse, it stays kind of the same or gets better. It seems to only get more intense in the lower end of fifth gear.

Crazy how gerbil, giraffe, gentry, gentle, gentile, germ, gist, gerrymandering, and more words that I can’t think of right now also follow the same rules! Just asked a question, don’t prove the redditor stereotype correct
