Default Saleen body kit big question

I was seriously considering a Saleen body kit until I saw something that made me want it even more. I saw the MPH gauge cluster on one of those things off of a 03 if I remember correctly. It said that it maxed out at 200MPH!!! Now if I add the body kit to my 03 GT will that mean that I will be just as capable as the original Saleens of hitting 200MPH!!!???? I don't plan on ever doing it but it's just nice to know if I could if I was bothered enough hit that speed and be aerodynamically stable up to that speed. I know it sounds like a dumb question but I need to ask it.

Well the speed gauge in my gt goes up to 150 and the needle went past that.
With these new aerodynamic capabilities you could probably go faster than 200!!!!

I know everyone thinks this is a joke but it's really not. If it's not the body kit than what is it that makes it stable up to those speeds?

Wow. I've gotten nothing but ******** answers. I told everyone I wasn't trying to troll or nothing like that. I just have a very simple question. Moderators can you please lock this thread?

Your car should already be stable at those speeds even though it'll never get to those speeds. Your subframe connectors and drag suspension is what makes it stable. You also have to have tires that can handle those speeds.
It will take a lot more work for your mustang to produce the power to get to those speeds considering the 2013 GT500's can barley reach those speeds and it puts over 620rwhp
