I don't even know to say other than this is just plain sick to see the M156 and M157 go head to head: http://www.***********.com/content.p...pgrade-E63-AMG Skip ahead to 4 min for the race if you don't want to wait.

Merc63

So the M156 wins with 70 less rwhp?

What's the weight of the two cars?

Owner of cars doesn't drive them? Camera man?

LOL, "No Hands" at 170 mph, that was my friend Rich driving my car. That Weistec tuned M157 is a monster on the front half. We raced a few times that day the E was always either ahead at the 1/4 mile mark or a dead heat, my C BS pulls hard at the big end. We were taking the turn off at the end at like 100 mph LOL

jrcart

Yes I drive my cars, I had two cars at the event, kinda hard to drive both at the same time. I let several people make passes in both cars, I don't care who drives my cars. Rich was running the C most of the time and I was running my CLK. Owners of Weistec made several passes in both of my cars as well that day.

Both cars weigh abuout 4100 with driver.

Merc63

Both cars around 4100lbs, BS has passenger and 70lessrwhp and wins?


Must be that wing on the back, ha.

jrcart

No, I misunderstood, both my cars are 4100, the E63 is like 4600 with driver I think.

whoadude

uh can I drive your cars?

jrcart

I do not know what to tell you, you are acting as if the video is a hoax????

What are you getting at? No matter what I or Weistec posts/claims people have to question it. Yes, the E made nearly 75 more whp than my C BS on the same dyno. Are you infering one of the cars hp claims is a lie or false in some way??? I post big numbers people call me a lier, now you are infering I am sandbagging my HP claims? I can never win! Are you infering that Weistec is misrepresenting their claims on the HP of the E?????? Why would they do such a thing? The E was clearly ahead at the half way marker of the race, not sure if it was gearing, aero, weight or a combination of all of those things that favor the C BS up at the big end and back half of the 1/2 mile race.

Hey Jim are you coming out to shift-s3ctor first weekend of april? Would love to see your beast in person!

jrcart

Trying to get registered, I think Saturday is sold out but trying to pull some strings. both cars are still out at Weistec so logistics will be simple if I can get a spot for Saturday.

James@ACG

Let me know, I'll give you one of our sponsored spots...

All cool runs but 75whp is significantly amount more in power. I would expect the E63 to win this even with the 500lb weight disadvantage but that's pretty incredible either way for both cars. This statement is not questioning anyone's numbers and what not cause I know guys get very sensitive lol

Glad to see you guys having all this fun with all these amazing cars.

JamE55

So if i read/watch the video correctly a C63BS WS3 will slightly beat a Weisted tuned M157?

That's pretty impressive considering the M157 is turbo.

IamCDN

So that E63, the description says "turbo and down pipe upgrade", is that just Weistec's turbo ECU remapping with a downpipe upgrade or have the turbos been replaced?

jrcart

are you talking 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile. i think the video shows what happens in a 1/2 mile. my C BS ran the Weistec tt E63 a couple times, both races had similar outcomes, the E pulling ahead a car length or two at the begining and then the C BS catching it at about the 1/4 mile marker. My first race against the E the E had me by a nose at the 1/4 point and the second race, the one in this video was probably a dead heat, maybe by C by a whisker at the 1/4 mile. It would be a very very close race on a prepped drag strip.

jrcart

I will have to have Weistec chime in, I do not know all the specifics. The car is a beast, especially from a dig, gobs more torque than my C BS

AMG E Power

Would like to see AMS upgraded turbo against ur car

jrcart

Will this do?

This is my 900whp Weistec CLK Black Series against a 1000whp GT-R...This GT-R is an absolute beast, only car that beat me at the event.....Sounds like a fighter jet fly by.......enjoy

JamE55

I'm talking about this specific race so it'd be the 1/2mi. Still impressive nonetheless.

ZephyrAMG

Is Weistec a publicly traded company?

Bimbpy

Turbos replaced as well as I understand.

jrcart

I beleive they are rebuilt with stock housings

AMG E Power

thanks ur the man ! still want to see want the biturbo from AMS can do.
congrats again on an amzing car

emericr

Amazing cars and cool runs.
Have you had any issues with the rear end on your M157?
I am contemplating a tune and downpipes on my upcoming CLS and I am concerned as one member here mentioned his rear end snapped.
My wallet is not as big as you guys lol.

Bimbpy

Yes that's right although the housings are modified quite a bit.
