Thanks for the info Ken. That info really helps! I'm good... keeping busy tricking out my wife's SLK. For the price of a GIAC chip, I can do every single mod in the book available for the SLK.
Back to my original question before I was rudely interrupted by Ken. ;-) Does anyone know the redline RPMs in the forward gears?
Thanks.

"The beginning of the red marks at the right end of the scale indicates the maximum permissible engine rpm."
Since the engine spins using all forward 6 speeds and reverse, this statement applies to all 7 gears.

No, the only reason why I was asking was that I got cut off a couple of times at a little past 6000 in first gear recently while the other gears were at the red mark on the tach. I never really look at the tach when I drive in the street and I only looked recently because I hit the rev limiter.
Thanks.
Thanks.

When accelerating at WOT in 1st gear, I initiate the 1-2 shift at 5800-6000 RPM...maximizes the power and provides much smoother shifts, since trying to shift smoothly once the limiter engages is just about imposible.
