Question CLK320's speed limit

is 135 mph about right for the CLK320 to cut off with the speed limiter.

Yes. 135 mph is the cutoff. It is a function of the factory tire speed rating. The CLK WILL get there in a hurry!

Frank - "Some Time" when compared to your C32 is still "in a hurry" to many, many people...

Sorry 149MPH just checked it for sure.

I take it this is without speed limiter.

Sorry for the error.

Wowww 250km/h that's around 155mph
that's damn fast.
Did you do it on the track?

The fastest I have ever done was a little over 120mph on I-5.
(I wasn;t looking at the speedometer once it reached 120mph) :-)
