CL600 top speed?!?
My CL600 seems to be almost fully juiced at 147 MPH. I have had the car serviced and checked for any engine problems. I also "broke" the engine in quite smoothly.... any recommendation? I also try and almost always use 94 o ctane gas.

They are not limited to 130. My S500 did 160+ MPH till the needle was bouncing with 5 passengers in the car. However the CL600 got really heavy after 145 MPH. Benz are limited to 155 but sometimes.. according to dealer.. this fails and the car goes over.. depends on how the car is being driven. Any input?

Electronic speed limit
According to Mercedes, the CL600 is electronically limited to 155mph.
Depending on a whole host of variables, you may or may not get to 155. For example, you might have a headwind, poor gas quality, improperly inflated tires, A/C on or off, traction control on or off, etc. etc.
147 doesn't sound too bad.
