Granted the 0-60 speed of the ML63 is at least a second faster than the ML55.

Dont get me wrong out there : I KNOW there is NO comparison btw the two models I am just trying to get an idea of actual practical everyday driving experiences btw the two - I would happily swap my ML55 for the ML63 in a heartbeat.



YES, those are my exact sentiments too.

Meanwhile, enjoy the ML55!
Somebody actually got an ML63 up to 180mph!! I don't know what an ML55 can do unrestricted.

Take the governer off and that thing will kill the top speed, is it even governed outside of the USA???

Going through the gears you can't believe the difference, wear did you get a 1 second difference from? I 1.5 - 2 seconds??

Ha ha ha - I was being blindly optimistic CAndrews!

Does the ML55 have a speed governer too and can it be removed with little fuss and damage to vehicle?
