Bypassing the speed governor
I have a 2005 E500 and my car tops out at 120mph because of the governor, anyone know how to get around that or eliminate the governor without tripping the check engine light? Also, anyone knows how the ride feels like on 19" wheels?

The governor can be removed by a dealer or anyone with the proper equipment and knowledge, although I would highly caution against non approved wheel and tire combinations especially at those high speeds. The 18" factory wheels have very low profile tires already.
