CLK 55 AMG have the same engines, infact CLK 55 AMG has 7bhp more but slower to 60.
Mercs are limited to 155mph thouh so how fast were you going?

Celica GT4 standard hits over 150mph... so I would guess an Evo 7 can do the same

They do around 150mph, but whichever way you look at it, that's hardly slow 
And to be honest, where can you do that speed often? A track

I would estimate the evo 7 would do approx 150+,i say estimate as i dont know which model of evo it is.Although i know from experience tht the evo 8 fq300 goes all the way to 177 still wanting more. the rs series evos r kinda just built for sprints my mates used to clock out at 140 aswell, but got upto that speed pretty quickly.

just been not far off the limiter in evo when somebody flashed us from behind . moved over and this merc went past us like we were stood stilll.
M3, Lancer, or other?
You seem to have aquired the wrong end of the stick Jade.
I was enquiring as to the lineage of the Evo referred to.
I.E.
1) BMW M3 Evolution
2) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
3) RS 200 Evolution etc. (other)

To hit 177mph in an Evo VII you would need to be redlining 5th at over 8000rpm...
