Top speed (governed) of an '03 TL-S

Is it 157 or 158 mph?

I did a quick search, but didn't find anything. :o

Thanks.

not sure about the mpg, but isn't the CL and the TL the same? and if thats true, then doesn't it top out at 149??

Some say 147, 149, 157, 158, or others says it's drag limited. I higly doubt that a car like the TL-S (considering the conservativeness of the company, the type of car, etc.) does not have a top speed governor.

I've gone up to 145 before. So I can't say for sure. But I thought it was in the 150's. I guess I was off.

If I'm not mistaken, Car and Driver had the TL-S drag limited @ 150mph.

Road and track say TL-S top speed 150 but no foot note of being aerodynamically limited.

I have a San Marino red 03' cls6spd.... I took the car in 75 degree weather to 147mph... It was at 5200 when it was going 147mph.The car still felt like it wanted to keep going but I can not see that car goinig any faster then 150 I think that it is governed around 150.... But the car still had a lot of gear left so who knows...????
