1993 300SEL/S320
I am not a "big boy" but I have been to 165-170km/h in my 300sel/320.

In reply to your other thread, I'm not sure what the top speed is, mine was still pulling faster but it was whilst I was overtaking and I ran out of space in the passing lane, so I assume it should make it to the top speed on the speedo looking at my rev counter there should have been able to reach 250km or whatever it is.

No he took a stock 320 and modified the engine, hence "S32" sort of a home made AMG.

I guess thats about as much as you can get without totally rebuilding an engine. There is a guy down here in New Zealand who is currently fitting a supercharger onto his 1993 500SEL, which should be good. The E55 must be alot of fun, massive HP and less weight than the barge that the W140 is, cool.

at 120 MPH my S500 purred like a kitten. Barely broke 4000 RMP and felt like 70 mph in a "normal" car!
