However, I borrowed a friends aftermarket speedo to use during my run, and thats what showed 117. The stock speedo stopped at 110.

All Aussie ST24's are manual transmission and obviously no speed limiters! It was done in the Northern Territory, where there are lots of long flat roads and no speed limits..... Must go there one day! By the way all ST24's come factory fitted with 205/50R16 Z rated tyres. David. yr 2000 Mondeo ST24 V6 sedan Mondeo ST24 Information Site

How'd you come up with that? I have 40 series tires also I dont know how much of a difference that would make and also is that a MTX or an ATX you are talking about? 98 Contour SE Sport w/ MTX K&N Air Filter FlowMaster Exhaust Removed Resonator Universal GTR Type C Wing Shaved door handles Custom Paint 16" Chrome Rims Dropped
