What about engine speed?
Im just wondrin, is it possible to over-rev these cars (especially the old ones with no electronic limiters etc.)? Its amazing to be able to beat the top speed indicated in the owner's manual (or at least at the indicator in the speedo)! I read somewhere (If I remember right, its in a Fiat Diesel Manual) that its ok to over-rev a diesel engine (meaning, it wont 'blow' like a gasser) but that wouldn't produce any significant increase in torque/power anyways, so why do it? Is this statement true for our MB diesels? In our quest for top speed, it just might be too tough for the engine...
