Even if you have a GT it is almost impossible to find a stretch of road clear enough to get up there. You're covering 2 miles in a minute at 120mph. Very hard to find highway that is deserted, smooth, with no merging traffic or on-ramps.
I've found a few solitary stretches in the desert where I've gotten up to 123 mph in a quick burst of speed, but the hood shakes too much too make that comfortable for more than a few seconds.
I've found I'm much more concerned with my Mustang's 0-60 speed than its top speed. If I ever get the chance I'll probably be getting an electric sports car. They have great acceleration but will drain the batteries quickly at top speeds.
I know gas is back under $2. Maybe that's why we're seeing more people interested in burning up $$$ again.
