4 years ago I had my 1985 300SD doing 115 on I-16 in Georgia, got popped by State Trooper. Cost me $1250.00. That was a learning experience. Never again.

I've had mine up to 140Kmh (whatever that is in MPH) I'm sure she could go faster if I could find enough flat road and afford the fuel. I have a trip across the praries planned in June I'll let'er buck on that trip, right now, I just need to make it thru the winter..

140km=87.5 mph

She doesnt like running over 100 MPH, the temperature rises fast once you hit the century mark.

I had my 190D up to 90 and its screamed like a sewing machine running on 440ac.

90 MPH in the 240, downhill for about 5 miles

.
It really sounds like it's in excrutiating pain at that speed. No tach so I don't know the RPM, but it sounds like it's really close to the redline if not redlining already.

See you were not going fast enough. Crown Vics are only good to what 130ish?...

Really? Thats what I suspected, if they can't catch you they can't pull you over!

Yup. They're limited to that for Driveshaft vibration reasons mostly. My Marauder, however, has been to 147. (Balanced shaft and Limiter removed))

Had the 85 mph speedo pegged, so no idea how fast. The 05.5 TDI had her to 100, then let off. The TDI wanted to faster. Too many cops patrolling the stretch of I-30 I live by.

We have a state trooper that patrols the company I work for. I asked about how they catch people that have faster cars...

He said, "They may be able to our run my car, but they can't out run my radio." Spike strips also have a way of making someone slow down.
