Nice video, didn't take long to max out. That's some powerplant. Thought you had a CLK55? That's what I thought when I agreed to run up Mulholland with you, now I see the V8 kompressor badging
Still hasn't rained though...

A slk55 without the limiter should top out around 186 I think. With a SC on it you should be able to hit 200.

AMG_55: Where did you do that run? Also why don't you get the ECU reflashed to remove or raise the limiter?

Yes, we moved Oct 17th...the SLK55 is loving the cold air...40 degree air and she just pulls like mad...so much better than 90 degrees in LA!!! fun...but then the issue is the tires take much longer to warm up so they spin like mad. On dry pavement the light was blinking up to 60mph as i eased into it pretty heavy....
