E550 HP
What do you think the actual horsepower of an E550 is? I know it is rated by MB at 405 (at the flywheel) but it feels like more. Consider that German Auto makers have a reputation for underrating hp in their cars.

Ok so roughly 429 HP then. Thats still quite interesting though since a lot of people say (or are convinced) the Bi-turbo produces more than that amount of horse power.

If I take the 15% rule of my wheel dyno #'s it works out to 403/441 for break Hp/Tq. That is pretty much as advertised from Merc, so maybe they used the same brand of dyno machines? Not sure...
