I kept having someone change that on the Cougar Wikipedia page, they kept saying "its not removed, just raised"... 
EDIT: They changed it back AGAIN!!!!

"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 135 mph (217 km/h) 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 135 mph (217 km/h) so, essentially, it was never seen. Without the sport package, the speed governor was set at 115 mph (185 km/h).
