Had my suspension bottom out then top out at 115 in my old Pontiac. Of course, the wind hit when we topped out, so I changed lanes without trying. It sucked!

Mine is a 98 LX with 4-wheel disc brakes and ABS. I've seen disc/drum with ABS as well on 99 Mercs.
As far as diabling my odometer, well, Fords have enough electrical problems for me to know better than to go tampering with them.
Superchips seem to be the way to go on OBD II cars, I prefer a custom burn Diablo chip, but that's just me. I haven't heard of anyone yet that hasn't lost their speed-limiter even though the chip makers don't guarantee it will bypass this.
At 112 mph (182 Km/h) I going plenty fast. I only want the limiter removed for the track, not the street. The drivers here have enough problems going in a straight line! I don't want to be around when one of them cuts me off and I'm going 200+.

to tell the truth, i have a Zetec with a Diablo Chip on it. i honestly don't see any hp from it, maybe like 5. the shifting is smoother, yes but my car still dies at 112 mph . no speedo removed, and it's advanced 7 degrees.
*fixed* 1998.5 Contour SE Zetec
No Cat, SVT Dual Exhaust, 2 N1 Mufflers, IAT , Diablo Chip, Iceman Intake, Polished TB, "new tranny"
Various other crap, no more mods for a while, just moved.
17.391 @ 81.03 mph
1995 Honda Civic CX Hatchback
15.34 @ 91.67mph
stuff.

it works, but the guy can burn it again for free, i just haven't gotten around to doing it yet, he can advance the timing again, and change some things around, but i might end up selling it, FCA3 burn, not a custom burn though. but mr Nikolec or however it's spelled at PDQ Performance is very informative.
