My understanding was the the governor kicks in at 130 in the US. Maybe that is the 300 though with the 350 going up to 155.

I haven't tested it...and don't particularly feel the need to test it.

Nice car! Love the interior.

I'm looking forward to taking the car up to BIR (local track) next summer and seeing what she'll do.

love the car (I have he same one) and love that you took it up to 134.

I stopped at 110 but now I want to break that record

Saks 350 is the best looking imo.

I don't think it will let you go to its top speed. I will definitely find out though, but wont be doing that kind of stunt on the road. Will have to go to a track.

The Saks edition looks AMAZING...suprisingly enough the interior color combo seems to be exactly the same as my ML350 Edition 10
