This would be at the point your car is shaking and rattling until it eventually explodes and/or the cops catch you.

With 16" Pony's, and 45+ sidewall tires, overall tire size is around 20-21", with .72 5th Gear ratio and 5,000 RPM's, this thing shows around 169+, which is too fast in that car. Lucky the tires didn't burst, or shit didn't fall off!

I'm not suggesting you should do that again BUT.....
You should put a gps device on your windshield. They will tell you your current MPH @ all times while moving.

'87 5.0 should have .68 overdrive. .68 x 2.73 rearend ratio is 1.86 final drive. Your tire is approximately 24.86" tall. At 5000 rpms with zero clutch slippage or tire growth you should be doing almost 200 mph. All mustangs came from the factory with enough horsepower to push the car that fast, you're just one of the brave few to do it. Congratulations.
