Oh and while researching top speeds I stumbled upon this:

Quote:
Mustang steering has always been numb, and the Track pack doesn’t force any more circulation into it. Don’t bring along a Miata, as we did, or you’ll just get depressed. The Mustang’s flat seats allow you to flop around—we had knee bruises at day’s end—and the brake pedal started melting after a few laps, requiring frequent cool-downs.

The guy was specifically talking about stock Mustang's being limited. He never said all Mustang's were limited and could never get past that, but that a stock GT is limited aerodynamically to around 150.

I'm going to be honest and say I believe multiple different sources citing the drag limitation of the car then one person saying they went 165. I don't think you're lying or anything, but it seems that the car is drag limited to 150ish stock.

Motortrend june 2009 Pony Car War!:
"Finishing in second place...Ford Mustang GT. Mind you, this was a photo finish.
The Mustang with the track pack blew us all away with its sublime steering,
incredible front-end grip, stylish cockpit, and beauteous V-8.
As Losh notes, "Ford's two competitors had the advantage of sampling 45 years of Mustang DNA, Yet they still couldn't pull out a runaway win."

"The best steering in an american car. Ever."

"That GT turns-in like a race car" was our communal opinion after our mountain romps"

"Biggest surprise here, I thought the camaro would leave the Mustang in a ditch, but i was genuinely surprised at how capable the mustang is."

"The GT comes in with a neck bending 0.95g on the skidpad, and faster in the figure eight than the camaro with a 25.5"
but i know which one you would rather stick with and thats ok.

I'm not dissing the Mustang or anything, it just seems like I'd have to rely on actual test results rather then a single piece of anecdotal evidence.

I'm not saying you're 100% wrong and I'm 100% right, but with what I can find at the moment all the sources seem to agree that the stock Mustang GT is drag limited to around 150. Maybe the (multiple) sources are wrong. I don't think so but could be. However, you can't deny it's much stronger evidence then one guy's story.

the only thing that is boring about mustangs is.

( i dont care that there are 1000000000 mustangs )

but it seems like they are all the same damn color (silver)

i mean i would love to see 100000 different mustang color combos, but latley people do not care to pick a fun color
