Hey jackass, just cause your tranny is gear for that speed doesn't mean your car can do it. The manual is not quite redlining at in the 140's. Drag limited it aerodynamics not drivetrain.
BURNTU2,
Please tell me you are joking! LOL! Too Funny!
PhearCVBz,
Spedometer error becomes nearly exponential above 100! A few years back McLaren clained 130's. While testing the spedometer said 130 but the radar gun never registered more than 206!

The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I don't have 1/4 mile or 0-60 times from my personal experience, but I can tell you that the car will go over 135mph on the speedo. Haven't topped it out yet.
Really? 
All these years SVTC's have been around and you think we don't know that?

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

I agree with the shock value of these cars. Not many people expect to hear that kind of noise coming from a contour. Let alone a contour that just smoked them. The SVT's are so unique and the lines on it are so smooth, and it doesnt hurt that its got such a powerful and revv able engine. I know I've gotten mine going around 138 on the track and I had more pedal but the warm lump in my pants convinced me otherwise.
Just out of curiosity, which track were you on that had a section long enough to allow a speed of 138 in a Contour?

Aw. Did I hurt your feelings or something... 
Obviously, you prick, you didn't read my whole post. Paragraph 2:

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I have hit 154mph on my gps in my 95 SE MTX before I got scared that I was reving too high, I used the gps to make sure my speedo was right, and my buddy whom I beat his top end 147mph f-150 was beside me untill he hit his top end then I pulled him. My chip is being redone righ now so I can only hit 112mph till I get it back. Damn rev and top end limiters!  P.S. That is how I got my "zrated" name.

Alright Gentlemen,
I have now gotten up on my chair, I had to turn my computer off and get a shovel in order to leave the room.
Cuz, that's how deep the SH!T is getting in here.
I haven't heard back from the "LAB" yet, but my instincts tell me it's BULLSH!T !!!

huh? which f150 specifically and what has been done to your 95 tour. i am not saying this is not true but i find it difficult to swallow. if it is true the wow.
edit
i have changed my mind and decided not to be nice......you are claiming to have walked away from a lightning which will do 147 with the mirrors folded in and the antenea removed (souced from guinness book of world records) with a 95 se. LIAR no way in hell buddy. maybe demons tour but not with less than that.
