Come test it out in Los Angeles, I'd give you a reason to MAX it out

[Neutrino]

where are you from. Here in utah we have a frew freeways in the midle of nowere where you can let it open.


I don't know what the max speed of a V6 is but the I4's are governor limited at 110 even though i had only 4500 rpm with plenty left.

I live in FLorida.. around WEst Palm BeacH... MY friend just told Me About this ROaD tHAts PreTTy Much Empty.. so I gueSS ill TEsT it OuT There... We'll SEe What HappeNs..

Around 120mph is cut off point, unless you chip it!!

[cougar4life]

WRONG!

if you have a non sport package V6 it is governed around 120 but if you have a sport package you have no speed limiter.

[MaximusGTR]

I beat those all the time(no disrespect intended though)

[CougarSVT]

Im speaking stock, i can exceed the stock fuel cutoff now! Which is around 115mph to 120mph. Just takes a chip! So no im not wrong, when speaking stock.... thank you!

[CougarSVT]

Oh, i have the sport package! I cutoff the same!

[cougar4life]

i know for a fact that the 2001 and 2002 sport package cougs have no speed limiter. i'm not sure about the 99and 2000's they might have had a limiter either way. but i know i hit 130 with my stock 2001 and it didn't cut out there thats just where i gave up. and i dont have a chip yet i will be getting one after i get my headers.

[cougar4life]

after doing a little research on NECO. i found that you have been cursed with a messed up ECU program a few sport package owners have reported having a speed limiter and a few non sport cougars have not had a speed limiter. i would look into getting the ECU reflashed. talk to your dealer about it. DO NOT tell them you want it fixed b/c of speed limiter make something else up.

b/c if you have a sport package you should NOT have a speed limiter.

[MaximusGTR]

This is kinda Ot, but Sunday i raced my friends v8 cougar(the old coug).
No contest!!! BTW how much hp does those things have? From takeoff I just pulled on him like 4 cars. I'm not stock though and he was. I did think I was gonna loose because I had lost to a Supercharged t bird once and I thought the Cougar would have some balls because it was a RWD v8. Anyway I walked away w/ a victory and $20

[CougarSVT]

Hmmmm, im a Neco member! What is your user name? And yes you may be correct about the years(speed limiter), but not for sure since i dont own the year you do! I wouldnt go any futher than 130mph because the MAX the motor will take is 137mph, be carefull! I have my own diagnostic equipment and havnt seen any probs yet, never heard of getting your ecu reflashed, ive heard of reflashing the chip.

[cougar4life]

i be cougar4life on NECO as well i dont post a whole lot. just once in a while. and you can get your ECu reflashed or reprogramed or whatever they do to it.

and i 137 MPH the most the engine can take? hmmm i haven't heard about that b4. something new for me to research.

oh wait you have an MTX i have ATX they are geared diferent so i think the ATX can get up to like 140 something.

[CougarSVT]

137mph is what Motortrend qouted.
