My $6000 Kawasaki will do that. I’ve had that up to 155 - And it wasn’t too bad. Loud. Very loud.

Since I became the proud owner of my first Mustang today (And my second this Friday.. Bought one for the wife) I’m gonna ping this !

Of course, I bought myself a 76 Cobra and her a 00 Convertible v6.

I’m surprised to see that the aerodynamics of the Mustang will do 200 mph.

You can push a lot of air with 600 horsepower.

I doubt that the aerodynamics *are* up to it. The ‘Vette will, and the Veyron and a few others, but they’re purpose-built. The Veyron will do 220, but it’ll need new tires when you’re done. Same for the ‘Vette. 650 hp is a lot, but not enough I think to really do 200. Pony cars were stoplight racers and weekend track machines, not supercars.

In 1969, I had my 350cc Honda Scrambler over 110 mph and then the front wheel started bouncing like a basketball. On the Mass. Pike in front of Fenway Park.
