My friend and I are still in awe at the top speed of the SVT. He has an integra gs-r w/ I/H/E... and he only maxes at 138... and his 138 feels all floaty and scary... 156 in the contour is nice and smooth, feels like you're getting squished to the pavement. 99 T-Red SVT *Intrax, Bilsteins, Azenis, Offroad Y, CAI, Tint, Magnaflow Exhaust, Custom Grilles, Poly Mounts, Silverstar Bulbs, 100W Ion Fogs, Focus SVT Wheels, SHO UDP, Ford Racing Wires *

Main problem was exhaust heat... the smell of cooking epoxy resin isn't pleasant.

Non SVT's can always get a Superchip and find out for themselves. There is a "downside" to the superchip: 94-octane fuel only after... Gasoline is more expensive up here... there is a chip that lets of flip between your stock program and 2 other programs and on the fly if they are the same computer codes, like the older ford tunderbird turbo coupes.

I have a bone stock V6 Contour LX_sport with ATX. I had my Contour maxed out at 120 and was still gaining speed. I was doing at least 130. 96 LX/Sport Roush/ST200 Pro-Flow KKM w/Heatshield Bat Pipe SVT TB,UIM,LIM,Brakes http://www.cardomain.com/id/lxsport

One thing that may be the case is I'm sure my car has been wrecked so it's possible they did something to the engine like change the PCM maybe. 96 LX/Sport Roush/ST200 Pro-Flow KKM w/Heatshield Bat Pipe SVT TB,UIM,LIM,Brakes http://www.cardomain.com/id/lxsport
