My old 200 hp Acura TSX had a top speed of exactly 142 mph, ironically.... As did an old 210 hp Mazda Millenia I had before that.

not brave, the camaro just handles high speeds better than the mustang. My roommate has a gt and @ 120 starts feeling a bit shaky.

If you say so. Had zero to do with the car and more to do with:

LEO
Blow-outs
Erroneous animals and debris on the interstate

What is it about the Camaro that makes it handle high speeds better than the mustang? Just curious considering we share the same chasis as the top speed 202mph GT500.

The 18inch tires are rated at 118, any higher and you have a high risk of blowouts
