Cool 2012 E550 Coupe 0-180km/h+ - mother of god

I've done a few runs in my car, think the fastest I've seen is 4.0 flat to 60mph on a bone try road with a nice launch, this guy just seems to rip through the gears though.

When you ran the 4./ 0-60, did you encounter wheel spin?

And you're right: the car in the vid seems quick (and louder?). Maybe I don't realize how much noise the engine makes when pushed.

OK: just read the comments with the video and the engine has been tuned.

I think the guy is actually just talking about an octane rating. I sent him a message, because he specifically states the car has 408ps which is stock. Car is definitely not louder, you must never get on the gas! My car is probably 25% louder, with my resonator delete.

Yes, I get wheel spin no matter what I do, if you're after a solid launch, I've found the fastest way to be start in second gear. Even then, my car seems to lose the tires in 3rd gear. It's all that torque

How are you measuring? And are your wheels/tires stock?

lol: I'm probably partially deaf because of all the years of boat racing... I thought he posted something about being "chipped", which I believe is same as a tune.

Oh: we do get on it from time to time, but there's no room to run in Houston traffic.
