There was still room to try for more, but we were approaching city limits, and we weren't about to use the brakes if we didn't have to. We let it glide its way back to civil speeds after that. What a rush though. I also got the Dad's Cobra to an indicated 145 by myself, and the Contour SVT is clearly more aerodynamic. The Cobra's wipers were lifting and rattleing and the antenna was flopping around like crazy. The contour was nice and smooth. But where the Contour started to die, the Cobra still had a lot left. Damn stupid though.

Thanks.[/b] Yes Hugo part of that statment is true. you see if you purchase the GT with the 16" wheels then they dont come with z rated rubber and the Computer has a 125MPH cut off.in which is the case with mine.but the other models with the 17's will reach speeds of over 150! i'm having a chip burnt for my car since i do have a list of mods and the chip will rid me of this problem.there was nothing worst then trying to Dyno the car and have it shut down @5300 in forth while on the rollers! 2002 Acura RSX Enternal Blue Pearl Blk Leather/5-spd MT. 15.724@87.79 2.397 Sixty Foot(Bone Stock) 134.6HP 130.4TQ (Bone Stock) 139.6HP 130.0TQ (Injen Intake) -------------------------- 2000 Mustang GT Blk w/Gray Leather 5-Spd ET 13.469@102.37 60' 2.004 ----------------------- Former Proud Owner!!! 98 Blk SVT some mods.. 14.955@91.93 #1730/6535
