GOVERNED C300???
So its finally a nice day in Germany, decided to pull her out (C300) and get on Autobahn 70, and give her a good run, once I got a clear road, and finally opened her up, she maxxed out around 139 mph (218 kph).

Can this be possible, 2008 Mercedes Benz that is governed????

HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE?

any suggestions on how to remove the governor, if there is one?

There is a governor for US models, and you can have it removed. A service center should be able to do that for you provided your tires can handle it.

All regular MBZ's are governed to about 140mph and AMG's without PP are 155, AMG's with PP are 186mph.
