That is very fast and it’s not easy to do, and do it without killing yourself.

I wait to see actual data for such claims.

Thank you Ford for making the world safe for excessive excess just for the fun of it.

200 MPH is 300ft per second. The length of 1 football field per second. Talk about a pucker factor.

Are they still using a live rear axle so you break loose on every mild corner? I think they took that technology from the Model T. (just a joke folks..)

How much do these stupid things cost? I like a little performance but there comes a point when enough is enough. 135mph is probably my point of ENOUGH. I did that on a highway with a hotrodded 440 chrysler(with bias ply tires and drum brakes) back in my teen years. There just isn’t any point in it in my opinion. The roads and traffic just do not permit it.

Like I’ve told people over and over, I just don’t get interested in modern day hot rods...not when a plain ordinary standard sedan STOCK can do 120mph no problem. change out a computer chip and alter the intake and you got yourself another 10mph.

WHO CARES?

It may be built to go 200 MPH, but unlike NASCAR and Formula 1 cars it is not built to crash at 200 MPH.

Try 140 on a motorcycle, and I still had 1500 RPM to go. The road becomes a thread.

Guess I've always been a bit contrarian.

With all the talk about 600 horsepower engines, 200 mph top speeds, blue tooth, satnav, and on and on with modern conveniences, I'm thinking my next car may well be one of these....

My Class 1 car(600hp LS3) will go 125+ in the dirt. I have had it up to 100mph in the whoops and it rides like a Cadillac! When I built it my choice was dirt/sand or the street. To many tards on the street and if you get a few tickets or wrecks, your screwed.

Probably built and marketed for police work esp. the hiway patrol on interstate 8 near El Centro.

Re: Ford Unleashes a 200 MPH Mustang

Back in the 1980's, one of my idiot cousins bought himself a multi-thousand dollar bass boat with a huge six cylinder outboard motor on it.

"This baby," he beamed, "will do one hundred-thirty miles an hours!"

"Not with me in it," I replied.

And, yes, he is still among the living... but only because his wife made him sell that boat after he took her on a high speed spin.

The bad news is Ole' Shel is to old and of lesser health to drive it. Rumor I heard was last time he was at Ford they took him for a ride in one and not at warp speed.

I also read a while back, their next gen V8's will be Eco-Boost adaptable, i.e the architecture will allow for the DI.

So the question begs, with their be a 2016-8 ( or when ever ) Shelby Twin Turbo DI Eco-Boost with these gobs of HP and better mileage to boot.....
