What’s the Ford Mustang’s top speed?

I’ve been a huge Mustang fan for my whole life, but I haven’t really paid much attention to the most recent generation. What’s the top speed for today’s Mustangs?

As descendants of the godfather of all muscle cars, today’s
Mustangs
have some pretty big shoes (horseshoes?) to fill. But the Ford Mustang’s top speed depends on the model you’re looking at—the top speed for a standard ‘Stang with a V6 is 155 mph.
The
GTs
and
Mach 1s
get much more powerful V8s, but even without electronic limitation, they can only achieve 162 mph.
The top speed for the Mustang Shelby GT500—with its 5.2L V8 that summons 760 ponies to the track and twists off 625 lb-ft of torque—is 180 mph.
