2011 Top speed guesses

Please look at the aerodynamic treatment of the Cobra R versus a factory lifted Mustang like the 2011 will be as well. The 2011 is a STREET car and doesn't have the aerodynamics of the Cobra R.
Please also note that a C6 Corvette with its 436 HP, 3300 lb curb weight, and vastly more aerodynamic form has a top speed of 186. Mustang GT will not get 6 MPH from that.

Here are the speed calculations based on trans ratios and a 6000 rpm limit with a 3.31 final and a 285/40R18
1st = 48 mph
2nd = 81 mph
3rd = 111 mph
4th = 145 mph
5th = 181 mph
6th = 230 mph
@ a 6500 rpm limit
1st = 53 mph
2nd = 88 mph
3rd = 121 mph
4th = 157 mph
5th = 196 mph
6th = 250 mph
The 07-09 GT500 has a Cd of .38 and a frontal area in the neighborhood of 23.79 sq. ft. - the drag limited speed of the vehicle varies depending on inputs but 190 doesn't seem unreasonable with 500+hp
