no doubt, stangs are about as aerodynamic as a moose.

Weight doesn't factor in the equation for top speed, only acceleration. Doesn't look like there is enough lift to effect straight line stability but I wonder what a sweeper at 200mph would be like. Never know I might be in a big hurry to work and really get on it on the on-ramp.

Actually drag is usually the primary factor in top speed...

That's not lift...if you want lift drive an 03/04 Cobra on stock suspensionat 140+, it's pretty close to scary. I once took the Cobra and M3 out back to back on mid triple digit pulls and the difference was astounding. The Cobra felt like a cross wind would put you in a ditch and the M3 felt like I could take my hands off of the wheel and have a burger and fries.

Power can always overcome drag and vice versa.
