Default 1985 Mustang GT Top Speed?

I need to know the 1985 Mustang GT's top speed.

Please reference it if possible (Road & Track, Car & Driver, etc.)

I have seen it written as a top speed of 140 MPH, with a 0-60 of 7.1 seconds and a 1/4 mile of 15.5.


***Reason being is that a friend told me that the 1985 Ford Mustang GT was the fastest production car in 1985.
I have found specs on a 1985 Corvette with it's specs being 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, 1/4 mile of 14.1 and a top speed of 148-151 MPH.

Thanks in advance.

****If I don't remember to check this forum out, could you please email your reply to jerry.milne@sympatico.ca as well.

It's faster than 140 ill tell you that.. 140 is seen easily in a 5 speed car.. 5th at something like 3200 rpm, redline is 6k just for a little insight, the 5.0's can MOVE with the stock gearing.
