CLK550 pushes 478 HP ( at pumpgas )

I got bored, it was a super great sunny day anyway and so I decided to do a quick walkaround of my modded clk550, then a 0-60, with the ESP off, Now afterwards I regret I didnt got her in dynomode...anyway I had a hard time keeping the wheels from spinning, like driving on peanutbutter jelley or something lol

Mods:

Cam/head/piston ECU tuneup
Kleeman headers
Custom quadexhaust


Hope you guys enjoy it :-)

NO LONGER ACTIVE
It certainly could be a CLK550 - just a non-USA model (note the speedo in in Kmh and the language on the MFD is not English).

Per the video...0-60 KMH which is 0-36MPH...
Doubtful the mods gave a NA motor 478RWP.....
More claimed power then a Black Series which accelerates 0-60KMH in a bit over 2 seconds...
I counted at least 4 seconds in the OP 0-60KMH video sprint...

I spun the tires at the early beginning, I had it really hard to keep em planted, so it wasnt a real 0-60, also I went out of closed area and had to apply the brakes to early.

Haha this better be a joke. Have you ever driven a 500 hp car? Let's just say that the needle would jump from 0 to 100 (km/h) in no time.

What are your internal mods? Also, spray painting your wheels doesn't give any additional HP, for the record.

Haha yes I happen to own one . So if we both drove 500hp cars then we can both agree that you are nowhere near 500. Post a dyno sheet cause right now from the looks of it you're doing about 6 seconds to 100 km/h.

Couldn't agree more

My CLK63 Black Series is scary fast to 60KMH/36MPH even with tires spinning and tail twitching....
Even my 3 ton G55K's speedo jumps rapidly without wheel spin !!!

Please look at the video closer and you will see I did not even redlined it, so there is plenty of " room".

Your 60km/h are actually 80, Nice try :-)

Hah. Let's just say a supercharger might give you 100-120 WHP based on setup. If you think you got 120 HP from headers and some reflash...you need to pass me what you're smoking cause it's good.

And if you're stating you accelerated to 80KMH, still very slow getting there !!!!

So why tout your 478HP and not get your foot into it ???
You don't even sound like your making power..

How did you come by your 478Hp..
Is it BHP or RWP, pulls done on an inertia or load type dyno.
Backed up by any 1/4 mile runs or even with a G-Tech Pro or something similar ?

If you can't back it up, then why even talk about it ??????????????

This is what 500HP sounds like and how it moves the speedo...
