2001 E 320 4Matic
My fastest speed was on the autobahn in Germany last Spring was 132 miles per hour. I thought I could feel the front end on my E320 4 matic begin to slighty lift, but as some crosswinds began, I decided to slow down to the more typical 110 to 115 mph I had been doing.

I have comand in the car and I noticed it always tries to give plenty of notice when a future turn is anticipated. At the higher speeds, the notice was staring to come in terms of miles, not feet which was more normal.

The autobahn, except in crowded cities, was truly a delight.

86 Mercedes 300e euro
Fastest ever gone in my car was racing my brother ( a cop) hit 129 in my 300e on a long stretch of highway on the way home from fishing. Dont think I will go that fast again in my car . I have rode with a customer who has a 600sl that had a balance problem at 130-135 he had the mods done for rev limiter and all that good stuff. Lets just say we fixed the balance problem the first time.

I am assuming this by the distance he was ahead. We were on I-10 in Fl, a totally straight highway. We both were playing with each other and both hit it at 100mph. He was already in front and I'll never forget that car dip and then LURCH foward. Beautiful. There was no traffic ahead of us I basically just kept my foot on the gas. He was gone, I could no longer read his plate as the distance widened. By 150mph, he was a solid 10-15 cars ahead. Incredible.
