Hey Folks,

Anyone take the E550 Coupe (v8biturbo) to the drag strip lately? I'm hoping to make some time in the near future to take mine up to Sonoma. Any ideas on what a stock 550 or one with a tune should run? I think im seeing anything from low to mid 12's but there have been very few samples.

I'd like to see what my mine (2010) now does with the OE Tune, it definitely is quicker off the mark than stock.

Thanks for the link. It looks like C/D estimated 4,000lbs for the 14 E550 coupe. Is that correct? I'm seeing 3,700 almost everywhere else? Which would make the car lighter than a C63
