Top Speed?
im interested in the top speeds of your 300E's .. years 1988-1992.. specifically stock cars. I know the speedometer reads 160. What do you get?

I heard that in the M103 W124's (300E) it was like 144 MPH (ungoverned), and then after 1993 they changed to a lower speed rated tire so it dropped to somewhere in the 130's (governed). i might be off but that is what i have read.

I took my car up to 140mph last month - I wanted to see how much faster it could go but the freeway was starting to bend and I was already using all the lanes ...
