I am pushing 50 years old, top speed on any old V8 S Class is over 150 mph, just takes time to get there, on a flat road with safe conditions. I cut my teeth driving 500+ HP cars, at a very young age, on a NHRA track, going down the 1/4 mile at over 140 mph, in a 4000 lb chunk of American Iron with front disc brakes, if you were lucky! This time was in about 10.3 sec, check that out with your 4.5 to 60 mph dream machine time. My old 1968 Hemi Charger topped out over 150 MPH, and did it quickly, with a lot of G'ees pushing you back in the seat. Our newer machines can match the top speed of the old iron, but not in the 1/4 standing start mile!

Any questions?
