E550 true BHP

Hey guys I'm new to this site and I'm in the market for a new car. Since my brother has the C55 and my cousin has the E55 I want something a bit newer and not slow.My previous cars were a EVO IX and a Infiniti M35 one really fast car and one really slow car. I'm currently looking into the 2011-2012 E550 so it will be a great car that has both speed and luxury, but has anyone ever dyno'ed there 550? I know this car is heavy and the papers says it has between 402-406 hp but what does it really put to the rear wheels.

Thanks,
Mike

Not sure what the car puts to the rear wheels, but if you get one , definitely get the 12'. The twin turbo settup makes it so easy to get more power at a low price compared to the 11' naturally aspirated engine. For $2700, Renntech programmer can make the car put out 530hp and 606tq,, thats sick. Makes me wish I had a 12'...

No problem, check out the renntech website for more accurate info, but those motors(tt) have so much potential. Welcome to the forum and good luck finding a new ride. Site: http://www.renntechmercedes.com/www/node/700

I believe the '12 550 engines really put out 440hp and 516ft-lbs torque. My car is getting the RennTech job in 3 weeks, will report on results.

I have Renntech tuned E 550 4matic, I had never drove the E 550 bi turbo not tuned uuntil last week. I went to dealer and test drove the stock E550, it is quick, but difference between stock and tuned amazing. The tune is really worth the money. I pulled a 12, 5 qtr mi. 113mph.

That's great. My car is getting tuned next month. The E550C is only 3700lbs (same as an M3) so it should be a rocket ship. Although the 255 tires are probably going to be useless.
