“Ford has to govern the Mustang down to around `165 mph because it can’t handle 190 mph.”

Big difference is drag.

OK but 161 speed limiter for Bullitt is easily reached. How much more? Not much as you have to shift into 5th.

Unless you are on the track top speed is meaningless. And I sure wouldn’t push a 7 year-old $46k car to 190!

Top speed is far from meaningless when you're talking about a performance car and the Vette blows the Mustang away in top speed and it's really the miles on the car more than the age and if you're doing proper maintenance, it shouldn't matter, especially on a 7 year old car.

Big difference is drag.

and suspension components and upward lift.

1999 Porsche 996 I paid 25,000 for in 2006 with 21,000 miles ... So there is that you know

I have nothing against Mustangs and have happily owned Ford trucks but prefer Cummins....I actually like hidden gem Fords of the 1960s like Galaxies, Torinos and Cougars.....my only complaint about modern Mustangs is the 1980s were unwieldy handling wise....resulting in the death of a friend of mine ...I’m sure the new ones are improved.....and I do not like the exhaust amplifier mode....and I doubt you do either ....I hear some kid come by modestly punching it on eye sixty five and it sounds like he’s in a throated Maserati....which btw may utilize enhanced exhaust noise too....it reminds me of glass packs...
