Patrol says a state trooper arrested a driver after clocking his speed at more than 200 mph.
The patrol says Trooper Ryan Smith pulled over 19-year-old Hector Fraire Saturday on the Kilpatrick Turnpike in Oklahoma City. Authorities say Fraire was driving a Ford Mustang and the trooper’s radar clocked the car at 176 mph and then 208 mph.
Authorities say the driver attempted to elude the state trooper, turning off his headlights and brake lights at one point.
Fraire was eventually pulled over at a red light. The highway patrol says the driver stopped his car and dropped his keys out of the window.
The highway patrol says the driver was arrested on complaints of reckless driving and felony eluding.

.... Bet it was clocked at KPH and not MPH. That’s way to fast for standard stock vehicle.

Aerodynamics of a Mustang wouldn’t be optimal for that speed.

I bet it isn’t stock. And they use the term “Ford Mustang” for every version of the vehicle.

KPH would still translate to well over 100MPH which sounds more reasonable.

More likely to see Roush Mustangs and that company is based in Michigan.
To: MeneMeneTekelUpharsin
I’ve owned several Mustangs but am not aware of any stock Mustang that can even get close to 208mph
To: Blue Jays
Driver likely had one foot on the brake, and one on the gas.
Too much traffic and he couldn't pass, No!
If that driver rocketed past at 208 mph the trooper would be barely able to even identify the color of the car.
I think this report contains lots of inaccuracies.

Well if Slow Joe Bidet can get 160mph out of a stock ‘64 Corvette then I guess jose can get 208mph out of a Mustang.

I’m betting it’s not a hoax. I own a stock 2015 GT. I’ve been driving 50 years, all kinds of vehicles, and this thing lays power to the wheels like there’s no tomorrow. Flip the switch to “Sport” or “Track”, and it can get scary real quick.
435 Hp with no tweaks, 165 is the “book” top speed. I know some guys who report over 185. There is a bolt-on supercharger that gets it over 700 Hp. I have no doubt that would get you over 200 mph.

“turning off his headlights and brake lights at one point”
I’m sure they mean tail lights and not brake lights...but don’t reporters know anything anymore?
