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?
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.
Would have been a great car for the good old days pre-’74 in Montana. The speed limit was just “reasonable and prudent.” Alas, those days are gone.
I remember Dad cruising across Montana at 90 in our big old ‘66 Bonneville. Not quite the same as this Mustang, though.
