I usually took my older Mustangs to 100 mph to clean out the carbon on occasion. They were from 1965-1967. The '67 was a 6 cylinder.
My '96 Mustang Cobra convertible I have gotten to 100mph while passing in 3rd gear with the top down. Try not to do that too often, the police look out for cars like mine. Cruise control is a wonderful thing.

I started out running at around 80mph, and the speed gradually crept up. Absolutely no sensation of speed. Fortunately I didn't have to slow down rapidly, as I'm sure thar drum brakes (even if they are 14" drums) would take a long time to have much of an effect on a car that heavy going that fast. o My Triumph Vitesse on the motorway spur from the M4 to Reading. Scary - the front of the car was almost lifting off the road. o My current car - a Ford Mustang GT convertible - on route 3 at around 2:00 am, with no other traffic in sight. That was in 1986, when the car was new.
