RE: Dangerous but Fun!

Is that the top speed of your 320?  Wondering if the governor kicked in.

Re: Dangerous but Fun!

Yea I was going to say I have had my ML 320 to 125 MPH (little over 200KMH I think its like 201 to be exact) and if I remember right my RPM was just a tad over 4,500 and it wouldn't go anymore. But I think mine might have a gov on it because of the tires.

Yours is a 2002 ML +
The Euro Ml320 ranging from years 2002 have 220kmh speedos compared to 98-99 models that have 200kmh speedos

RE: Dangerous but Fun!

Wow.. that must be fun!!

I would never be able to run my ML at that speed here.. lots of new highways are uneven here, make it dangerous for travelling at high speed. (I think i posted on the other forum before, safety section.. that a W220 S350 spun 360deg twice and crashed.. it was a wreck, but all 5 passengers were alive). I usually travel 120-140km/h top, wish i could go to 200km/h

btw.. in the speedo, there are 2 red rectangular spot at 40 km/h and 60 km/h.. what are those? might be a stupid question.. i just haven't seen those lit in my ML..

I did the 125 in my 2000 ML I have only been 110 in my 2002.

And the 2000's also have a different speedo than the 2002 It really messed me up when I was changing between the 2 cars since on the freeway in the 00 at 70 mph the needle would be at 90 degrees and in the 2002 at 90 degrees you are going about 77-80..

The 2000 speedo goes up to 140 and I think my 02 goes up to 150 or 160. I will check on that but I did have a picture of my 2000 speedo handy.

Is the 320 governed?  I though it was limited by physics (HP vs. wind resistance) to about 130mph.
