High speed runs in a fox?

[Stangman701]

Just wanted to get the opinions from anyone here who has gone fast in both a LX and a GT. I'm just curious if the GT/Cobra body parts helped much at high speeds. I've been to somewhere around 160 in my 85 which basically has the body of an LX and it felt like it was ready for lift off. I wouldn't mind putting something like a stalker kit on there if it would really help at high speeds. I'm not too concerned about it right now, but if I ever do anything else with that car it's going to be pretty wild and will probably get to those speeds fairly quickly.

160mph in a 22yr. old fox body sounds like a death wish to me!

It was definitely scary, hence the reason for this post . That was probably 7 or 8 years ago though. It had 2.73's then so that was still in 4th gear, haha.

Fill it with concrete like Jeremy Clarkson... it won't go anywhere!

Ive had my GT and LX both over 145 not much differnce up there. Both feel abit uneasy, shady and like a small gust of wind will blow you away. lol

I had my 85 Capri RS doin' all it would do and was happy that I could keep it between the ditches. I was racing a early 90's Vette with a turbo and we were side by side till I hit 5th and then he just pulled away.

14x in a 92 Lx. took forever after 130 shifting 5th. 3.08's
It wasn't stable at those speeds. drifting lanes. Definitley part of the dumb days.
motor stock except a upper/lower and some other usless shit.

How do you know that you were doing 160 in an 85? Did you change the speedo?
