What is your record speed?

Zut · 08-14-2006

What has been your record speed with your SLK so far. I went just over 160km/h (100mph) a few times but I couldn't find a road where I could go faster than that.

Zut · 08-14-2006

Hey, there was a poll attached to this thread. Where did it go?!?!?!

*easty* · 08-14-2006

Just under 150mph and then turning into a corner with out braking.

TWS is a cool track.

ierax · 08-14-2006

265 kph (indicated)....(ford instruments

)

Ynot · 08-14-2006

120mph on the autobahn whilst on European Delivery, I would have taken it further but the SLK was brand spankin new and didnt' want to push it any more than I did. I haven't driven it over 100mph here in the states, I don't take the highway much.

130 MPH.... damn traffic kept me that slow. Oddly enough I was following (and being pulled away from) a G35.

bakerdbl26 · 08-14-2006

125 MPH then ran into traffic. I am looking to push it to the limit when I can find a open road.

UKSLK55 · 08-14-2006

Just on 160mph indicated, prevented by limiter.
Easty will know the road, the M58. Great road. Also got indicated 185mph on my friends Hayabusa before I bottled it on the same stretch.

Am I the only one with a 200 here? Anyhow I managed to do 230 km/h, about 144 mph. Yes I was alone on the highway when trying this.

Wow!!! I wonder why I spent all that money on a 350 if a 200 can go just as fast! And I'll bet your car is more fuel-efficient too! Din lyckans ost!

BTW this was done at Daytona Speedway

Great location to drive 159mph. How was it? How long did you sustain the 159mph speed?

M58 has to be fast for when the scousers nick the cars and tack 'em back to scouseland.

sorry couldn't resist

**DansSlk** · 08-14-2006

I managed almost 160 (about 159 i worked out from the KPH display) and lost my bottle now that i live in fear of the old bill and the ticket machines.

Had the limiter removed with the das but not had a chance to go somewhere to try and reach a max speed looks like UKSLK55 is the current high

bmwnomore · 08-14-2006

Tipped 80 mph the other day. Exhilirating.

**SLKman** · 08-15-2006

I had a Mustang want to race me today...I know he would have smoked my little 4 banger but I didn't let on. (most guys don't know a SLK230 is a 4 banger) I just told him, "Thanks but no thanks, I have nothing to prove." He gunned it and took off Smoking FAST! My wife and I just smiled as we pulled up to him at the next red light. LOL

noregret4life · 08-15-2006

gotta love that! personally all i think is... well gas is expensive for my car... his runs on regular... and there goes a gallon... woops theres another. Then you meet them at the next red light and you are 2 gallons up from the ponys that just took off to show off.

i havn't pushed the 350 past 110mph yet... however the 230komp hit 141 in the good old days.

That is so very true

As a contrast, my SLK 350 has managed to go the speed limits.
