Quote: I know this is an old post but my 2003 CL600 is not tuned yet and it shot past 140 (GPS verified) and kept going. I have read on the Benz site its 130 so I wonder whats up?
It should be 130, both of my CL600's were limited to 130 stock. It's a simple coding change in SDS to move the limiter though, so if it isn't tuned, it could still have a higher limiter.

Quote: Correction: its actually 35.6 mph/krpm

My bad, its difficult information to find out for sure.

Still undergeared, though, ought to be more like 40mph/k.

The newer ones with 7G's are better. Like you, its annoying to be sitting over 2200rpm @75mph

with a trickle of sweat on the forehead, on Germany highway
the sound is like driving a 1990 JEEP Wrangler on the highway at 150 km/h, for those who tried that
