Speed: 130
Location: Long hilly stretch of road
comments: Drive at high speeds on the road quite a bit. its really amazing how well the car sticks to the road, and feels incredible going up and down the hills.

2004 C55 AMG
203 C-Class - Top Speed
Guys...Just read your forum and was laughing out loud! (LOL)
I own and drive a 2004 W203 C55 AMG (367 BHP) and it is just amazing....it has the 5.4 N/A v8 engine and sounds/goes awesome (0-60mph in about 4.7 sec & 0-62mph in 5 sec) i believe my topspeed is electroniclly limited to 155mph and no i have never taken it there! - the max i've driven it is up to 120mph LOL (i live in the uk,so it's hard to do speed without getting cought!)
Kleemann do an E55 Kompressor conversion for mega £££'s ($$$'s to you lot)
which sounds really nice except the cost - just imagine 469BHP in a little W203 C-Class!!! & de-limited aswell

Guys, today I hit my speed limiter on the Long Island Expressway (LIE)
It kicked in at 130 and only let me go 132 but the car felt like it could have kept accelerating! Totally smooth and steady, like it was meant to cruise at that speed.

just got my c230 sedan last week
Fastest I've gone: about 110 mph.
Car felt very stable, dry road.
It was nighttime, and there was some traffic on the 3 lane highway, going uphill.
Could have gone faster but had to slow down for traffic and curves.

For our friends in Germany who can sometimes drive at speeds around 200 KM/HR on safe highway conditions, do you find that you're burning engine oil and have to periodically add engine oil? In Germany, what are the service intervals for oil changes?
