insane

Vids like this make me positively giddy for the new C. (Looking at wallet suspiciously)

EkS

Great job Weistec! Hope the new C gets the M157.

_timothy

this. i have such high hopes for the next gen coupe. i contemplate whether or not its worth waiting for the follow up year so that aftermarket has a chance to catch up

mr747

These guys are wizards

It's getting the 177 4.0TT. Basically 2 engines from the CLA45 put into a V. It should handle unbelievable amounts of hp. close to 700hp just based on specific out put as a 4 pot.

callmiro

Matt Farah is the most useless reviewer ever. The guy does a couple of burnouts on a toll road and that's his review?

How about some performance stats?

Props to Weistec for pumping out a beast

_timothy

dumb question: why are the sum of the cylinders equal to double the power? there are only 2 turbos not 4

forcefed6.4ford

The CLA is a single turbo 2.0l 4 cylinder. AMG has used this engine as a starting point to build the 4.0l twin turbo essentially staggering the bores and creating a V8. The specific output is 172.5hp/lt as a 2.0l, 4 cylinder. Times the specific output by 4 and you get 690hp if turbo spec, oiling, cooling and fuel systems are matched to capacity. It wont be, I know... But the potential is there.

_timothy

gotcha, i thought for some reason CLA45 was twin turbo 4 cyl

forcefed6.4ford

Wouldnt that be sweet

roadtalontsi

na thats the new diesel 4 cylinder. little turbo and medium tubro working together.

VaclavSV

I agree he didnt do a good review at all. The car is awesome but like you mentioned it wouldve been nice if he touched on performance figures or compared it to something.

That car must be a blast wow. Weistec is great and I like matt farrah. His reviews and videos arent very technical or depthful but theyre fun, and he seems like a decent dude so no complaints by me with him.

jrcart

LOL, my CLK BS made an appearence in the video parked right behind Steve while he was talking. That E63 Bi-Turbo of theirs is no joke. It can now easily handle my C BS in half mile rolls with no problem whatsoever.

I imagine their E has a little more juice since it's bi-turbo compared to your n/a C? Between your CBS and their E which do you think has a better top end?

jrcart

My C is not NA anymore, I am running the Weistec Stage 3. I would say their E would get me on the big end, although I am not too familar with the M157 gearing and such. I do know that at the last event I ran with Weistec, the Shift Sector event in California in April we lined up a couple times and their E63 bi-turbo pulled me by a few cars and bested me by an average of about 3mph in the trap. If I was forced to choose I would say the E would get me on the big end. Their E is a bit heavier than my C BS however I think the drag coeffient of the E is better than my C with the aero package and aero comes into paly big time at the big end. I am doing the Michigan Mile this weekend so I should be able to post up some 1 mile trap speeds.

JamE55

Oh that's right i forgot. Yeah i saw that footage at your last shift sector run.

Quite impressive though between two cars. And i think the gearing on the E is a little if not a lot taller than your C. But nonetheless both impressive setups.

jrcart

just goes to show everyone what a beast the Weistec E63 bi-turbo is. We all know the Wesitec Stage 3's run 10.50's all day long and the Weistec E is beating my Stage 3. That's why I made such a stink and called out AMS and their claims about their Alpha E. They are claiming it makes 50 more whp than the Weistec E yet at the Chicago 1/2 mile event last month it was trapping the same exact speed as my C. Then they started with the excuses lol. I can not wait to run into those guys at another event and stick a finger up their *****. AMS is 20 minutes from my house and we test at the same tracks so it is bound to happen here shortly.

JamE55

^^ That's going to be an epic showdown!

ZephyrAMG

Sweet E63. Terrible review and too much emphasis on the A/C...

DCMETRO22Z

Why are the Air conditionning and Manual transmission mode not working anymore in the vid ?

COMBUS code

AMS_Performance

As we have told you countless times the HP level we ran at the track was no the level that we dynoed at...quite a bit less as we have told you. I think we are into double digits now telling you this. If we are lying about our HP number then why is our 60-130 time so good?? With Vbox data to verify it.

Why are you so hung up on talking poorly about us every single chance you get. You know its posisble to support one vendor and not talk badly about others the same time right? It's ok that you like weistec and we have literally no problem with them at all. Why all the hate???
