I am not too sure what a stock chip looks like, but if you access you ECU and open it up you might find a chip that has a manufacturer's name on it. Powerchip, for instance. Also, check for soldering around the chips of your ECU. If you have an aftermarket chip, maybe the soldeirng is different from the other chips present.
Lastly, run your car against another C280. With the I6 (model years 94-96).

That is the tranny still adapt to the previous owner habit.
Although I am not sure if the older tranny have adaptive module on it.
By the way do you have w/s switch mode.
If you do, you could try to switch it to W and drive it for 5 min or so then switch it back to "s".
This should reset it.

Irwan, so if you drive in w for awhile then switch back it will relearn you driving style and the tranny will adapt accordingly?

NO, Adaptive tranny started in 1998 perhaps 1997 but i think 1998. And the W/S switch mode started in 1997.Originally posted by J Irwan

I know for sure that my car has adaptive tranny and 5 speed in which is 1997
As for the older model, yes they don't have it.
I wasn't aware that his C280 is a 94(somehow I missed it).

Yes, it was 97. Why don't you ask the person before you if he put a chip in it. It's pretty hard to mistake a 10 percent horsepower gain. My car is unchipped and it redlines too. Oh by the way, the chip remaps the fuel system to feed the car more fuel and suck in more air.
