Interesting that things have not really advanced all that far. My stock 1988 Mustang GT topped out at 143 mph on Autobahn 81 in Germany when I was overseas in the early 1990's

These are just electronically limited speeds. I'm sure drag limited top speeds are quite a bit higher

I like how it increased from 113mph to 121hp.
I'll spell it out for those who didn't catch that.
113 miles per hour to 121 horsepower.

Change the drive shaft on a V6 and disable the speed limiter and it will break 160. I think you'll find that your stock 1988 GT couldn't even hit that speed, much less hit that speed with a V6 Mustang from 1988.

In the Q&A with the lead engineer today he stated that the top speed limitations are set for European considerations and also due to cooling considerations. 155 is pretty good for the GT, I wouldnt mind if it were higher of course, but that's only for d!ck measuring, if I ever am lucky enough to own one again I wouldn't go near that high. I do have fond memories of my old fox body GT rattling down the highway at hair raising speeds a time or two though..
