I had my '69 302 2 barrel up to about 105mph once. It was actually a little scary, and that was at an age when I still thought I was immortal. The aerodynamics definitely had her lifting up on the front wheels - she felt very floaty. I slowed down.
Which I needed to do anyway.
I have had the '06 up to 110mph, somewhere it was safe and legal to do so. She felt very stable.

Don't forget steering. And yea they older ones hate high speeds. Tend to shake, fastest I took my coupe was 120 and it was sketchy. You can be going 50 mph in a 65 and it feels like 130 in my srt8

125 in my '68 GT350 and I was scared into slowing down. VERY light front end at that speed.
150 down the backstretch at Watkins Glen in the Saleen and it felt like a highway cruise at 75.
