Do any of us really doubt that the car can't do 200 mph with the right conditions, enough road, and the correct driver? It's similar to the claims that the ZL1 ran the Ring in 7:41 (I think), has anyone duplicated that time, anyone? Does that mean the ZL1 can't do it? Dodge claims the 392 Challenger can run 186-mph, I haven't seen it, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. Bottom line is the car is going to walk away from the ZL1 in the top speed realm which is what Ford was aiming for I suspect.

Getting a car to run 200-mph safely is not as easy as backing up claims such as 1/4 mile, or 0-60 mph, there are not many venues around to test the claim.
