What tires are you running and what inflation pressure? High speeds are not something to be taken casually.

Actual speed needs to be around 130 mph. All German US spec cars with H rated tires are restricted to 130 mph.
Even the S500 (*w/out sport package) is limited to 130.
The REAL top speed for an M112 engined E320 sedan W211 body is 151 mph, approximately.

S500 with sport package and Z rated tires is still limited to 210KPH. I picked one up at the factory 2 years ago and had it flat out all over EU. 136MPH is as high as it would go. My CLK has been to its limiter several times and the speedo reads 135MPH. It also came with Z rated tires. Only the AMG cars have 250KPH limits in North America

There might be slight variances, but non-AMG cars are indeed limited to 130 mph, all AMG's are 155 mph for the US market. My blown E430 would pull quite strongly to 130 mph then just hit a wall like you backed out of the gas.

my w203 (C320 coupe) kicks in at 133 on the analog speedometer (tested 2 weeeeee ks ago @ 5 a.m. on a road trip.
the ML320, 118, limiter kicked in... making a pass on a long straight road
the 190e 2.6 auto - 135mph, no limiter, but is 400 rpm's past redline in 4th gear... just being stupid!
