Just curious.....as to what top speeds every one has hit with their 'tours and 'tiques?  I have a stock 98 SE with a K&N Cone filter and auto tranny V6. It tops out at 115mph even tho the speedo shows 120 or 130 as the max. :rolleyes:
98 Contour SE
6cyl Auto
Custom K&N Cone install.
More mods on the way.....

I've bumped into my 112mph governor so many times it's not even funny. And unbelievably, my speedo is dead accurate at that speed. (As a 110mph speeding ticket can attest to!)

A hair over 145MPH indicated at 3:00AM on a wide open highway one night, who knows how fast in reality. That was flat out BTW, had no more go left in her...

85mph in my 98 CSVT E0. No desire to go any faster on a public road. My cut-off is 30mph over the speed limit. Anything higher in IL is automatic arrest.
