<<you seem to feel the need to add "limited" to your top speeds for some 
reason?>>

I should think that would be self explanatory. In the case of the C320 the 
top speed is limited by the governor at 130 even though without it, it will go 
about 20mph faster. The two Porsches and the 450SE can't go any faster because 
they don't have enough power. Were the 944 a Turbo, it would exceed 155mph. So 
it's power limited. Drop a 6.9 in the 450SE and it would attain about 140mph.

The GTO which has been discussed is undoubtedly drag limited because of it's 
corrugated garden shed body shape. And if you were an aerodynamicist, you 
would know how much of a power increase it takes to add a few miles per hour to 
a 
draggy vehicle at high speed.

I wonder if you are aware of an MB patented design item that lowers rear drag 
in the '08 C-Class.
