The result was a Mustang coupe that could hit 170 mph and averaged 142 mph over 500 miles at a high-speed track in Texas where it was running on a set of Goodyear’s new whitewall Thunderbolt economy tires.

I've hit 125 in my '69 but vowed not to attempt it again until I do something to firm up the suspension - it's too flighty!

I got chicken in my 67 Camaro convertible at 110. Needs the spoilers.

Weird how they call it a ‘coupe.’ In the mustang world a coupe is not the same as a fastback/sportsroof/2+2. Shelbys only came in that body style until ‘68 when they added the convertible. No Shelby coupes were built, as far as I know.
