Whats the fastest you've driven..
Just curious as to what kind of drivers we have here in the CLK forum...
So, how fast have you taken the CLK on the street (includes highways, expressway, freeway, etc...) and on the track?
For me:
Street: 120 mph
Closed track: Zero, never been to a track
you are welcome to include other cars outside of the CLK, but it has to be a street legal car...

CLK on highway = 135-140 (because it was 6AM on Sunday)
Other notable street legal rides
E55 on highway = 160 (testing VMAX removal)
E55 on track = 160+
360 Modena on highway = 150 (still accellerating but running out of road)
575M on highway = 160 (same as above)
Acura Legend on highway 145 (still accellerating until I saw CHP behind me)
911 GT2 on track 165+
Too many race cars to list.
The best ride at speeds over 140? The E55. It was quieter, smoother and relaxing. The Porsche followed by the 2 Ferraris were the most intense, white knuckle experiences I've ever had. Probably because they weren't mine!

My E55
on the freeway at 159 mph (hit the limitter)
on the track 125 mph (Texas Motor Speedway, mb-bob and yodabenz were with me)
On a 1999 Corvette we used to have 178 mph on the freeway.

120mph from Hartford to Boston 3:30 am all the way. No lie, but I also knew if I got caught I was goin' to jail. I saw one cop when I was leaving Hartford and I don't know what came over me, I just Lost It!

I hit 82 once in my Mustang. It was pretty close to pegging the speedo, so I backed off.

by the way, for all those who have gone past 135 in non-///AMG cars, did you guys mod your ECU or something? I thought standard MBs have speed limiter at 135?
