I'm confident that my Zetec can do 130+. I was in 4th gear when I hit 112 with plenty of RPMs left.
Looks like my next mod may be a chip just so I can find out...on the track, of course. :p

You know just a word to the wise. Don't drive that fast for too long or you might end up with decentigrating tires.
