I have a '95 E420 that I topped out this weekend. I was driving through the desert and decided to see what it would do. I was on level ground and hit 127 very easily before the engine would momentarily cut out. I can't recall exactly what the RPM's were at but I remember that they were not even close to redline. My redline starts at 6000 RPM. I belive I was somewhere between 4500 and 5000. I'm guessing that it has a govenor that is limiting either speed or RPM. I would like to use the rest of the cars potential and get up to the bigining of the red zone.
I think the later 400E/E420s (forgot which year it started) are limited to 130mph because they were shipped with H-Rated tires instead of V-Rated tires like the earlier ones.
