but i thought the stock chip limits you to 135... so how can you acheive 140 if you didn't remap the chip?

yep, mmgrad/danny is right. I've only been able to hit 135mph in my sister's 00 CLK320. It just won't go any faster. Well, maybe you can on slight down hill, but it's limited at 135mph unless you remap the ecu.

$4750 including shipping. The ECU will be sent seperately. It was recommended to remap the ECU along with the air intake upgrade. However, octane levels have been improved since and now we get 94 which is excellent news for the racing community! Racing 110 fuel is also available but expensive.

Bahrain is going through an AUTO fever and everyone's into motorsports and performance upgrades since it was revealed that the expected completion date for the Bahrain International Racing Circuit will be 15th Feb 2004. FIA are expected to pencil in the BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX for 4th April 2004.

We are really excited here at the prospect of hosting the first middle eastern Formula One race!!

if ur CLK320 is US spec, then ur limited to 135 mph. Hitting 140 mph is very probable without remapping ECU. Cause remapping ECU doesnt necessarily mean removing limiter. With the limiter removed, ur baby should hit well over 155 mph. I had CLK320 AMG and it would clock 250 km/h at 5000 rpm which equals 155.325 mph with the limter. With limiter removed, i expect speeds of 270 km/h at 6000 rpm which equals to 167.751 mph.

111 in a boat...and from the other boaters I've talk to, that's like going well over 200 in a car.

Any speed boaters out there ?
