Ah my bad. Yeah, thats slow, it wont be limp mode, the engine ECU wont let it pull to 90 I wouldn't have thought, not without a down hill gradient in its favour.

Possibly the gearbox sticking in gear? Common on the 7G.

Should the 70-90 be that much quicker than 6s then in this car?

Just to come back to the question, are we agreed that in Sports mode, I should be able to do 70mph->90mph in 4 seconds?

(I did the tests in Comfort mode but had the pedal depressed)
A 500SL will do it in 5.5. I wouldn't expect yours to be any quicker so I'd say 6 is about right personally.
