C63 tuned vs 14 E63 AMG-S
I was talking to this guy with the E63 AMG-S model today and there was a C63 tuned who ran this E63 and lost pretty good. Anyway we went from a 40roll. I spun and he pulled a 1/2 car. I need new tires btw. We took it past 5th gear and he still was 1/2 car ahead. By the specs on the E63 it ran 11.6@121.8 on Motortrend. We were surprised by the outcome. Sorry no video. I can't wait for Pocono!

Weird, I raced a '14 e63 amg-s a few days ago and destroyed it. Mind you it was just a street race. But it wasn't even close at all. Perhaps the headers and other mods on my c63 make a bigger difference then just your tuned 63 or the e63 was afraid to push it since so new? However he tried to beat me at 3 different stop lights and didn't even give me a challenge at all. I would have thought that a c63 with just a tune would beat the e63 amg-s. The tune makes such a difference, and the e63 is heavier and all wheel drive. Also your tires (lack of) might have made a big difference too?

Anything can happen in a street race...if I hit it first, that can be an easy half second even a full second....
I destroyed a CL55 off a light because I nailed it first and he couldn't catch up...and I was in a QX56
E63S will walk a tune only C63 in every situation in a side by side

maybe the guy you were racing wasn't trying . you are telling me that a full bolt-on C63 can't beat a "tune only" C63

Also, Road and Track just tested one with the other Super sedans and it did a 0-60 in 3.2 seconds; 1/4 mile in 11.5 @ 123.1

Put those numbers in a bench racing calculator and you get around 625hp with a weight of 4540lbs.
You need some serious mods on the 6.2 to get into that territory. I do really miss my C63 for throttle response.
