Question Maxed Out

Ok I'm going to refrase my question.
My ML 320 stops glimbing at 115mph. It seems to have power left but doesent want to go. I thought only the American cars had rev limiters. How can I get aroundit and make my ML cruze at 120 plus?

The ML is made in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It is an American car!

Many if not most of the German branded cars have governors in them. Not strictly a rev limiter because in the lower gears it will rev to redline (then the rev limiter kicks in). You would have to reflash the computer or install a different chip to raise or eliminate the governor. I don't know if this is possible for an ML. I've only had mine up to 110, and it felt like it had more left in it!

I Can cruize at 100 comfortably. I know it's about max for my ML but I'm used to cruzing faster in prevoius owned vehicles. I don't go that fast all the time, but when I do, I want the car to at ease.
