Sorry guys, that is an evo benz....the standard 2.3-16v doesnt redline at 7k....I own 2 of them. The standard 2.3 cosworths are rare in N. America at this point and they are awesome cars....always interesting when ppl see a standard merc...
ps, rpm does not equal speed ChrisMartens (unless you know the gear ratio in the car in the vid...in that case, pls disregard)
@treideme : I had my W124 spedometer tested, by the same company that tests police-vehicles, and they told me that spedometers of the 190 and 200 models were one of the best ever built. They should only have around 3 to 4% margin of error, compared to around 6 to 7 % normally found in newer, current, Volkswagen group cars.
that ould of touch 260 i think if there was more road and down hill :D

@erby200 it's a video that I found on the web, I don't know if it was recorded on autobahn, road or track... I'm not the owner on this car.

My 1986 2.3-16 stock Eurospec red line is at 7000 rpm and my speedometer is about 8-9 km/h faster than actual GPS speed. Cut off is at 7200 rpm.

@evan12345ist Ehh you are incorrect. The American-market 2.3-16 redlined at 6500, all european models had a 7000rpm redline, the Evos even higher.
vito1860 1 year ago
6500rpm equals 230 kph - the meter obviously is showing more.
These old ECE engines are great!

Those meters have +10% uncertainty... My 190 D 2.0 shows 180 kph too (hills down and wind from behind). xD
