Actually, most of the things you listed would probably make it harder to drop the 0-60mph times. The bigger turbos, headers (manifolds), and larger throttle body would probably drop the low end torque a bit....the turbos would need to spool up a bit to get to an RPM with similar power. It would make launching a little trickier. You would see more significant differences from those mods in the 1/4 mile trap speed where the better breathing can be fully realized.

I would imagine that just launching harder with the drag radials would get you around 3.1-3.2s 0-60.

Thanks Vic.

The CLS63 in the video did not have the limited slip diff (LSD).

Tom, you're are on the money.

If you notice in the video, I walked the car out of the hole. I believe with a little harder launch, the low 3 second range 0 - 60 is plausible as are 1.6s in the 60 foot.

I see no reason why these cars won't run 11.0 - 11.1s with a 1.6 60 foot and a sea level DA.

Pretty stout for a heavy CLS with a tune and drag radials.

Im still amazed,

did you weigh this car prior to testing?

I am looking for bare bones CLS 63 so I can get the sucker in the 3900 lb range.(with wheels) (battery) (tool removal).

Seems this car could get very heavy with all thy options. That Designo paint , sheesh it can weigh a ton

SGC

We'll see. I have an E63 coming



I didn't get a chance to weigh the car; however, nothing was removed or lightened. Just wanted to get an "as is" baseline with a tune.

Amazing that this car is putting those numbers even without a LSD. Wow!

When you get the 2012 AMG E63 biturbo & add the +700hp with RENNtech tune/exhaust/intake/LSD/etc + good tires. And use LC this time, I can imagine a 10sec E class very possible
