Mercedes 300SE 1990
W 126 300 SE not gaining enough speed

Hello All folks,
I have a W126 1990 300 SE having 200000 miles driven on it. I am facing some problems with this car.
First of all can some one tell me that how fast I can drive this car comfortably.
Secondly the car gains speed very difficultly, on a run of about 5 kms with full throttle the car can only gain a speed of 100 km/h. I have recently replaced the plugs and ignition wires as well but no use. Can any one guide me with the possible faults.
Thank you.
