Could anyone tell me the top speed of a delimited SL 55 AMG?

I heard it is 202mph.

Is this true?

Thank you

SuperDave

I have heard that a de-limited -55 with a pulley/ECU mod will top 200.........just barely,

A bone-stocker that is just de-limited with no performance mods, I dunno.......

The speedometer on a stock SL55 goes up to 200mph, no?

I would be very surprised if a stock SL55 would clear 200mph. My guess is 185mph-190mph, after that, you would need a really long stretch of freeway which is not realistic....

I saw it from this forum:

ctrl+f and search "202" and it will come out

AMG_55

there was a top speed/accel test in autocar about 5 years ago (i still have the issue somewhere).

top speed 202

faster from 150 (or 186) to 200 (i believe) than a murci

Carl Lassiter

I saw that too. They should re-do the test with the SL65. 210?

And if my memory serves me right...one of the big 3 magazines ran an unrestricted CL55 and it topped out at like 197? makes me wonder what my car would do

EDIT: i was wrong it ran 187 but that was the Stage II sped limiter

The speedometer on a Hyandi excel goes up to 120mph too.

My SL55 is derestricted......and on an empty stretch of desert I have seen 202........and it was totally uneventful. Here is an attatchment from Autocar on the SL55 vs some 'other' cars........

GPS verified, I assume...........Stock speedo not accurate at that velocity..........by as much as 8-9% in some cases.....

Can Drive 55

For what it's worth, my speedometer read 158 when my GPS read 157. I think 1 mph error at speeds above 150 is close enough for government work.

I did have a GPS in the car, and if I remember correctly (the last time I used the GPS for these sort of hijinks was a couple of years ago), it was within a couple of mph of the speedo. As the AMG speedo only goes to 200, the needle was a bit beyond the 200, but the digital readout was over 200.

SuperDave

That is fast................Mine has not been over 150 yet........(indicated)....

But I am working my way up to a full-pull now that we got the IC pump and Intercooler on..........

I wanna be like U and bury the friggin' needle..........

That's not from Autocar, but from the German Auto, Motor Und Sport magazine!

I had posted this on this tread:

You are right, but I had an issue of Autocar that had the same graphic and article(in English)...........but of course I can't find it. So when I saw your post I had to nab those stats!! Thanks!
