I own a 1999 W210 Mercedes.
130mph
WELL I DONT REALLY LIKE TO PUNCH IT ON MY W210 BUT YESTERDAY I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 80 MPH AND HIT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL AND HIT 130MPH LIKE NOTHING. FELT NICE AND STABLE BUT I LET OFF BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC AHEAD.

OliverK, get lost man... here and benzworld. The only responses you have are negative. I guess you are just trying to get your post count up. If you have nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all.
P.S. In the begining of this post, It was said that he doesnt want to hear how stupid or unsafe it is to go that fast... so tell us how fast you have takin your Eclass or just stay out of it.

I guess I didn't think MB forums would be filled with 17 year olds concerned with whose risked more people's lives.
awesome.

Man there is some huge BS in this thread.
1. Speedometers are widely inaccurate at those speeds. You'd need it GPS verified.
2. 221bhp e320s that weigh 3700lbs "toying" with G35s that have 60 more hp and weigh less? Doubtful
3. and 3500lb lexi flipping over at over 100mph because they are "so light"
god, do you people really believe your own dribble.

1. While speedometers are inaccurate and since so many people have new rims and tire sizes (which might alter the actual speed), the figures provided should be an estimate of their top speeds. Please disclose major modifications to lend credibility to your story.
2. I agree, 221 horsepower E320s really can't toy with G35s. Very doubtful indeed. Besides, if that was the case, the G35 must have had a very poor manual driver, and one really shouldn't brag about how you beat an incompetent person (unless you're comparable to incompetents).
3. A 3500 pound Lexus vehicles can flip over at 100 mph (and lower speeds) if we're talking about the RX 300 Lexus. However, a person saying that they flip over at high speeds because they're "too light" is ignorant, gullible, and lacking in common sense.

1997 mercedes e300d
I bought a 97' e300d in March. I had the car checked out and while driving it home I had it at 130mph without a problem. I really miss the low cabin noise of my Acura, but was able to drive from Chicago to Birmingham on one tank of gas.

It doesn't matter where your w210 was made it WILL NOT GO OVER 130 unless speed limiter is removed through the ecu... NOW enough BS and lets get to the root of the problem (ECU) and we can now move on to the number one question of the day and that is !!!
Where the hell do i gotta send my ECU to get rid of it....
any help is appreciated

In the future, it may help to post the engine speed of the car when it's at such high speeds as well.
At 130 mph, the V6 E320 is just around 4500 rpms if memory serves me correctly.
I wonder what the diesel's RPMs look like at that speed, probably only around 3000 rpms.

In my W210 E55 I went 152 mph (This was not putting the pedal to the floor so I know it would reach it's limiter of 155-160 mph) and in a Porsche 935 TT 198 mph. Both done on the track of course!! Be careful out there for troopers waiting for all of us to just break over their speed limit. If you’re flying at night and a trooper is coming after you just turn off your light and punch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But remember the radio can always find you or at least the cop on the other end of it. Be safe.

You are so full of it, its unreal. 
1. Unless this was like a late 70s vette with 180bhp, you are not smashing anything. Even a C4 with an Lt1 making 280bhp will kick the snot out of your MB because its about 600lbs lighter, and it has way better aerodynamics, not to mention a transmission that sucks less power. Forget about a freaking ls1 or ls6 C5.
2. 185 mph huh? Care to tell me how you got a 275bhp car that weighs 3700lbs to do 185mph? Forget that the car is shaped like a brick. Forget that the car is limited to 130mph. forget that the car probably doesn't have enough gear to get there. The thing would be so freaking drag limited there is NO CHANCE you will get there with anything remotely near stock hp.
So, do you really think that anybody believes your crap?

Furthermore, according to numerous speed/gear ratio calculators, an E430 is gear limited to 186mph. Thats with a 2.82 final drive, .83 5th gear, and 235/45/17 tires, and a 6000rpm redline.
There is NO WAY IN HELL that a stockish motored car would get anywhere near being gear limited. NO WAY
Now maybe with a turbo or blower, you could get close, but you'd need probably 400rwhp to do it.

I don't even think 400 rwhp would do it in a W210. Too much drag.BTW, a stock LT-1 Vette is 300 hp at the crank.

Hmm, maybe I was thinking of the Fbody, which as around there right (275bhp) I believe?
