    So there's this

    http://www.kcci.com/article/man-arre...rnpike/8297368

    Wasn't aware a Mustang could do 200mph.


    You learn something every day.

    Dude.
    You haven't seen all the Cars and Coffee incidents? It's clear the Mustang can go 200mph. They just can't get them out of the parking lot in a straight line.

    There's no standing crowds on the freeway.

    As science tells us, 1 Accelerating Mustang + 0 human bodies = (symbol for infinite speed.)

    I'm skeptical of this, because a) you're not going 200mph for long on a 20 gallon tank, and b) if you're going 200mph how the fuck is the cop going to catch up to you? I suspect a radar gun seriously out of calibration, or with a margin of error so great it becomes significant at high speeds.

    How much horsepower would be required to sustain 200 mph in a Stang?

    That was my first couple of thoughts as well. If anything, maybe he can fight it with the "check it's calibration" defense.


    Maybe the cop had a Mustang too.

    Like that Prius ad.

    Flat-Out! We Gun for 200 mph in the 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.

    That's with 662 HP, so yeah with ~700 horsepower & a T-56 it should be doable.

    I remember that - I also remember this:

    http://www.automobilemag.com/news/20...00-first-test/

    On a road course, the monster V-8 will suck the tank dry in just over twenty minutes
    and this:

    A rep tells us the Shelby needs about 17,000 feet of tarmac to hit top speed

    Well I mean the SN95's are more aerodynamic than the S197's and if you want 1,000 HP, you can get there pretty cheaply.

    So yeah, you want to hit 200+ MPH in a Mustang for under $20K in mods (not including the price of the car obviously), it's certainly possible.
