[/sarcasm]*insert anti-mustang fact*
The GT500 was limited to 155mph not for safety reasons, but because in reality it can't go much faster (aerodynamics).

So lemme get this straight. The GT500 gets this badass, DOHC, 4 valve, supercharged, intercooled, motor. The consortium over there with Evolution Motorsports, spends unkown dollars and hours, dyno tuning and track testing, and modding the heck out of it - and FINALLY get that 2 ton...erm...ponycar into the high 10's.
So this other guy simply drives up with his Z06, bolts up slicks to his bone stock, pushrod, normally aspirated smallblock....and does high 10's, as well.
Hmmmm....

Weight has nothing to do with terminal velocity, just the amount of time it takes to get there. I'm pretty sure the Shelby could get close to or achieve the same speed, were it not for the speed limiter.
