    This car is so sick. That power should be illegal though, especially in the hands of Mustang buyers who find ways to irresponsibly drive sub 200 HP old V6 models

    It failed to reach 200mph in its first high speed test: MotorTrend managed 196.06mph (315.5 km/h) in Arizona.

    That top speed test was done at high altitude, high temps (100 deg F), and low humidity (bad for detonation). Motor Trend tried the Enzo, CGT, and Ford GT at the same venue and were 5-9 mph short of top speeds reached elsewhere.
