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.

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

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.

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