Did you?
Given that I almost always had two bikes on the roof, no.
The stock limit is 155, which means the car runs to around 167, the AMG Drivers Pack raises that limit (in theory) to 186, and then if that is removed the car will run to around 205 - given a stretch of tarmac long enough.
Not, I hasten to add, that it's very useful to have that top speed.
My van tops out at 120 I think.
Dammit-
will run to around 205
Are there any tyres rated for a sustained blat at those speeds?
If you want 200+ this is another reason why you shouldn't get a bike. There's so much drag that even a Hayabusa can't get past 187 without a supercharger or some other extreme measure. It used to have a speedo which went to 220, which was good for impressing the kind of people who look at the speedo of a bike when it's parked. And it was designed to read 10% too much, like most Japanese bikes. I saw 204 on mine on a runway, but the radar said it was just the usual 187
