Has anyone hit the fuel shut off at 142? Because I was going 145 the other day, and I was wondering...did the screw something up when they put in my new engine? Just curious, does anyone know if it is actually limited at 142 mph, or what the deal is? I'm going tomorrow night to see if I can top it out, wish me luck...795 here I come.
Last night I was doing 155 MPH in MY Contour SVT with a little left, but ran out of road. I was clocked also by radar and it said what i was doing. I have stock tires and rims, I also had other people in my car doing top end runs with a Nissan Sentra V-Spec and a Newer Prelude. Then I was clocked by radar as I flew past a cop. I didn't get caught but somebody that I was doing the top end runs witch he got caught and the cop told him that "I clocked the other ******* doing 100 MPH over the Speed Limit!!!!""" He got clocked at 110MPH and got a speeding ticket for 85 in a 55. But the cop kept asking him if he knew me and what type of car it was lol
