Does anyone know the top speed of the CSVT? Also the what is the HP of it stock. And along with the top speed, is the a fuel cut-off, if so, when? I have read a few different things for each. Just wondering if anyone knew for sure.

1998 SVTC were 195hp and 1999 are 200hp and 143mph is the top speed from what I have read.

as stated above, svt's are drag limited, there is no fuel cutoff. it means that at ~143 mph, you dont have enough HP to overcome the drag at that speed.

I've personally tested it...No fuel cut off. I had mine at 138 once. That's as fast as she would go traveling into a 10 - 20 MPH wind on a straight to slight up hill incline. I may have been able to creeped up to 140 if I had tried, but 138 was all it seemed I was going to get out of her.

Alright, because I have had mine up to 115 mph and backed off, and I had read that the cut-off was around 115. Not saying that 140+ mph is all that safe but it will be cool to get it up that high.
