470 (w?)hp won't get you to 191mph, level ground, with no tail wind, in a typical modern sedan, IMO

Not federal or Canada . . . believe all "non european" MB are limited to 150 or 155mph . . . easy enough to program limiter off . . . but that 190mph would sure be total top end, all in . . FEETS would probably have better idea on that . . . but man, best to do on track ! . . . E55 was limited to 155 mph for all nations. The limiter can be reset to a higher 186 mph limit or removed completely. Some SL55s have been bumping 200 mph that way. My little C55 (non-blower engine) tops at 172 mph because of the lower gears.

Google says a C55 Mercedes is not all that. Maybe 150. That extra 40MPH would be tough unless it had been worked on. I'm thinking the cop cheated. Would they really do that? Car is a C63, totally different animal but still not sure it packs enough punch for 191mph (speed limited to 155 only in Germany, all of them, or at least it use to be like that) Delimited these cars will run 180+ mph. Common mods include a tune that opens the throttle to 98% instead of the factory limited 75%. That puts them north of 500 hp and they'll crowd 200 mph without an issue.
