I dunno what the "ungoverned" top speed is 'cause both of my cars are governed. Duhhhh....but my 96 MTX SE topped out at 115mph, because it is limited by the electronics. Now if you look at the back of the 98.5 -2000 SVT brochure the top speed is 143-electronically limited. Thus disproving the statement that 30 extra horespower only gives you 5mph difference.

OK so I am retarded. I checked the back of the brochure here on the site and it says nothing about electronically limited top speed. I SWEAR the one I have at home says it, but obviously not 'cause it was the same one I just looked at. I want to apologize for losing my mind, and I would like some depressants, because I'm gonna' lose sleep over this one. I know it says that somewhere. DAMNIT!! I gotta find it! Am I losing my mind for real? I wish I wouldn't have despensed of so many brain cells back in high school.

God, I wish I could find the time to see if my chip removed the speed limiter, I was pissed when I hit mine and Hector kept going right past me!
