Car and Driver got the best 0-60 time I've seen listed, 6.9. Ford downplayed it to the tune of 7.9, but I'm guessing (and this is only a guess on my part) that this was to prevent it from cutting in on V6 Mustang sales. (Yes, I know there are big differences between the two cars; just a guess.  )
Speed I believe is drag limited at 144, but I chicken out before 120.

No, it's because Ford's numbers are done with 200-300 pounds of ballast to simulate a passenger, and then it's still conservative.
