CLK500 Speed Limter ????
Have a question related to the speed limiter on an 05 CLK500. Do any of you folks know what speed the limiter kicks in? The owners manual states 130mph but I remember reading somewhere (possibly a web site or MB brochure) that both the CLK500 and CLK55 were speed limited at 155mph.

Would try to test this myself but I still have a ways to go with the break-in period on my new coupe.

Thanks,

Roger

250km/h so whatever that is in mph.
