2013 W204 C63 AMG TOP SPEED

Last night I was trying to top out my C63. I was in S+ mode and it was climbing as fast as usual however, when I got to 160mph it seemed to stop. I was only in 5th gear and about 5000rpms but it acted as if there was a speed governor. I did not take it out of S+ and go to manual, which was my second thought as to why it would to that, after the speed governor idea. Is it possible that there is a factory speed governor that I do not know about or does S+ mode just not allow you to pass 160mph without switch modes to manual?

Where exactly are you going to try this again once you get a tune?

Date/time/location would be great...

When's the next time you plan to do a top speed run there? :-)

Tune up

About how much should I be expecting cost wise on a tune up? And what should I say when setting the appointment? Anything else you'd recommend doing for more hp or higher top speed? New to AMGs

Word of advice, don't post in a public forum where you're doing highly illegal top speed runs on a public highway.

Probably won't be any useful vehicle parts left. Might be able to salvage an eyeball or kidney though.
