My old one, 165ATW, so ~190ATF would go off the clock no problem. More than 140, less than 150mph id expect?

Probe with same bhp will do 137, maybe 135 as would presume Probe has less drag.
Weight isn't an issue, be handy to know the CD of each car to compare.
No doubt a genuine 137 would be well off the clock in an old escort, be about 150 on the clocks I expect with typical 10% overead of old cable driven cars.

Standard gearing allows 148mph. I'd be extremely surprised if it could make that on that power.

135mph I'd say.
