A 662hp Mustang built for super high performance can do 200mph the same way a 505hp Corvette built for performance can do 200mph.
A new Ferrari 458 Italia can only 202mph and costs 250k+
Price does not buy speed. Price indicates a lot of things, but does not mean speed. A half million dollar Rolls can't lap the a track as fast as a 60k Camaro.
What you should make you upset is how can Ford get away with just putting a big engine in a car designed as if it was built in the 1970s and have the audacity to charge north of 60k and offer no other advanced tech with it. No special shocks, no big brakes, no crazy body panels or special active aero, all strapped to a car with a weak live axle.
