Do you get to use your speed?
On a good day (cold air) I can (theoretically) get to 143mph on the way to work and maybe 110 on the way home.
What about you? (Theoretically, of course.)

the fastest i have gone in my 560 was around 135mph on a straight and quiet road in the central valley and about 127mph in my s500 near the same area.

Last week I hit 165 racing with an E55. It was 32 degrees, cold winter morning. Perfect conditions. Thanks Renntech...

Tkracing, you should consider the throttlebody upgrade. It will add a difference to your car. However, you must do a baseline dyno before that upgrade so we can see the actual difference.

Last time I drove through Germany I hit 167MPH (272Km/h). And this while I thought the limited (which has kicked in at 155MPH on two occasions). Next spring when my summer tyres are back on I will investigate further

Yes I agree. I had a few things to get first. Wanted to get off these modified links and install the Renntech Elm. Also waiting for my Exhaust. Last will be the Throttlebody. I am planning on taking it to the Dyno on Thursday. Then we can see the difference when I install the throttlebody. It gets friggin expensive...

Be careful on whos going to install the ELM for you. Some shops are not very careful when soldering the wires and I have seen couple of installs lately that werent neat and proper.
If you check out EuroElites install, we make sure it looks stock.

Yeah, modifying cars can get freakin' expensive.
