That is in Europe or somewhere other than the US, C32s are limited to 155 mph in the US.

That 290 km/hr is equivalent to 181 mph, great

Chip it, it is totally transparent to service diagnostics.

That is a neat vid. Does that particular car have any mods? Do the Euro cars differ in any significant way from ours? The speedo on the US cars is fairly accurate. At least I know it is up until about 93 MPH where the cop radared me yesterday. So worse case scenario that indicated 181 MPH is at least 175 and possibly spot on. Pretty darned impressive.

Do you older guys remember that it was not that long ago that super cars of the day like the Countach and early Testarossas claimed top speeds of around 180 MPH? Even then, the mags would often only be able to get them to max out at 172-175 MPH. Now our factory tweaked 'entry level' benz matches, what were at the time, the best, fast cars in the world. Kind of whacky to be surpassing the poster cars of our youth with our daily driver.

not hard to figure out once I saw the name of the file. Shine's C32 video appears again after a year and half.

That car's in Taiwan w/ the 155 govern removed.

From what I've read and remember, the top speed for the C32 is around 187mph with the limiter removed.

If that was Shine's C32, someone correct me, but I though he a lot of work done? ODPS, ecu, headers, etc...

Oh yea, NO one mentioned the blue gadges. I like em, like em alot.
