Top speed for clk 500

Hi guys just wondering has anyone delimited there clk 500, if so what top speed have u manged to get, also just add your comments if u have had the car at 155MPH. the most i have manged is 145MPH without a problem lol. the reason is/was wet roads and too much traffic, can't wait for the summer to try for 155MPH, i should have it delimited by then.

My 05 cuts out around 137.

When I had it tuned and delimited, I saw above 150.

We have speed limits in France. So the maximum speed is 130 km/h on motorways. That's it. OK, in truth I have gone over the speed limit. It was 140 km/h.

I don't know about you, but here in the United States we don't have, what you call, a "speed limit". Guess it's some French thing.

Well, when I lived in the States (1991-1993), there were speed limits. I go back every other year and I have not seen them disappear.
