Re: Cougar 101 --

I keep seeing someone edit the 99-02 section and adding false info, I have changed it back MULTIPLE times and someone keeps going back and redoing it. Really starting to get on my nerves. Its this little bit right here.

Quote:
"Sport Package" models with the V6 featured 4-wheel vented disc brakes (from the Contour SVT), 16" alloy wheels, and a higher speed governor installed. Contrary to popular belief, the speed governor was not removed, but simply raised as a result of high speed rated tires with the 16" wheels. The top speed of the manual transmission car was 153mph in top gear at redline. While this was considered attainable given enough road, the automatic transmission version could not reach this speed without significant engine modification. With the sport package, the speed governor was raised to just higher than 153mph so, essentially, it was never seen. Without the sport package, the speed governor was set at 115 mph.
This is FALSE! The speed limiter was REMOVED, not just "moved higher"! I'd really like to know who keeps changing it, and ask them where they've gotten their info.
