Yes, our American (water)petrol is only good for lawnmowers and chainsaws..Maybe that's why the Honda's run so good??? (Expecting to get flamed out of this world now..lol...Where's Infuryium? laugh )Anyhow.. 119 is not bad.. Top speed that I could believe for 130 hp is probably 120. That's about all you are going to eek out of that small Zetec. I don't think that there is anyone else on this board (In the US) that has been able to top 120 or 121mph.. That's it. The SVT's don't have a speed limiter and they have 70 more horsepower and can only manage a mere 20-25mph more.. because of sheer wind resistance.. Go ahead- Open your sunroof at 120 and stick your head out.. I dare ya.. That'll teach some people real quick about the properties behind wind resistance.. :p

Dom cool
