178 (around 285 in ATL ) in a RennTech modded SL65 AMG w/ almost 700bhp. The driver was owner of G-Force Racing, Bob Postell. Before he started G-Force he was a test driver for Yokohama. Anyone else and I would have been really nervous.

The S has seen 145. there is plenty more road where I did that but it drops down slightly and you can't see anymore. I don't like people pulling out in front of me doing 140+ or any speed for that matter.

Fastest I've been behind the wheel in the S was 136 soft top up. I'll try again with my hardtop this spring.
Fastest behind any wheel is my dad's C43 AMG at 144 mph. Shhh don't tell. I was younger and dumber then!
Second fastest in any car would be a friends E46 M3ci with Dinan ECU (governor removed) at indicated 175, or 160 realistic I believe. First fastest would be a friends modified 996TT (600whp) with an indicated speed of 185.
I was shitting all over those GT3 Recaro track seats....
