I couldn't accept the answers I was getting and went and asked Ford directly about the speed limiter question. Below is the response, in it's entirety and it's not because of the driveshaft. Remember that this is for the 2012 Mustang V6 only as I was not concerned with any other model. Anyway here it is.
Dear Mr. totaljustice
My name is Patrick and I am with the Ford of Canada Customer Relationship Centre.
I received your message on September 20, 2012 regarding feedback for your 2012 Ford Mustang. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to address your inquiry.
We are pleased to hear that your vehicle’s quality has exceeded your expectations.
Thank you for informing us about your positive experience. Your good news confirms our belief in the importance of exceptional products and services. When customers like yourself send us positive feedback, you help reinforce our efforts to provide the finest automotive experience in the industry.
According to our research it would not be possible to adjust the mechanism of the seat lock. We have documented your feedback regarding the difficulties that it presents.
Regarding the speed limiters, they can be used to limit the top speed for vehicles and for some classes of vehicle; such devices are a legal requirement. Many performance cars are limited to a speed of 250 kilometers per hour or lower to limit insurance costs of the vehicle, and reduce the risk of tires failing.
If you have any other inquiries or concerns, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to address them.
Thank you for contacting Ford of Canada.
Sincerely,
Patrick

^^ I'm SURE Ford knows it. It's just easier to say they have to limit speed due to inurance requirements than say "our sports car will break if you try to set a land speed record". LOL Nothing wrong with that though, not too many V6's are designed to go over 250 kilometers per hour anyways.
