Cool, now if MB could do something about the tremendous number of other cars in the way of my daily "cruise" to the office, I might be able to tap into even 50% of the current, speed-limited potential of my car!

You know, I would like to believe that this is true -- but I just got told, "NEIN!" by AMG not too many months ago....
Perhaps it is a change in policy due to BMW competition in the USA concerns, or due to the change in management at AMG which just occurred recently....
Either way I do hope that it is true.....
And for those Slow Moving Vehicles in the left lane? I'm hoping that later this year AMG offers the .50 Caliber Option....

Mercedes AMG offers to remove speed-limiters in U.S. - Not Quite
The Leftlane News article makes it seem as though AMG is offering an after-sale "kit" to change/remove the speed limiter and cite Ward's Auto as their source. Unfortunately, the original Ward's announcement only refers to the 030 option for the SL55, CLS55, and SLK55:

For 249$, you can do it right now. Speedtuningusa.com for those who can't wait.
You get what you pay for of course, but Oliver's ECU totally removes top speed limit.
Klee's ECU info says theirs is good to 185, but obviously Derek beat that with his at 193? Wonder if that is just Brandon and Cory keeping us from killing ourselves?

It's the stupid German "Green Party" that has that 155mph law on all cars made there... but from what I'm told removing that limiter is a cottage industry in the big D.
BTW.... Ricky, I see you finally discovered Van Halen! With all of those no-name guitarist you were listing in the "best guitarist" thread, I had you written off
.. Eddy is one of the "gods" of guitar.. good sig!

All kinds of aftermarket tuners offer a Vmax delimiter delete or change-out. It is a big industry in Germany. AMG will even do it themselves for you on most of their models -- but not if the car is a USA car and coming here!
