And you don't have to worry about a half shaft falling at at 250MPH!

Hmmm

According to Ford engineers the GT, in STOCK trim, is capable of 218 mph if you have a long enough track and if you adjust the rev limiter up 300rpm.

Which inspires the question: How much more power (and maybe aero effects) would be necessary to get the GT to 253 mph?

That misrepresents the relationship . As Im sure you know all of the factors (including cost, aparently) involved in going from 200 to 245 are quadratic not linear
