With a driver, you're looking at a total weight of ~4600lbs, so it's possible with that estimate to get 11.8s based on this generic calculator... but of course, the best way to find out is to go do it
It'll be close, so the difference between a low 12 and high 11 is going to be dependent on the first 60'. W212's don't seem to like launching all that much.
Just came back from grate lakes drug race ( first time ever )
had plenty of fun , managed to outrun cars like : Cadillac ctsv ( stock ) , BMW m4 ( stock ) , e55 amg ( tuned ) , 2013 audi s6 ( stock )
best time I had was 12.237 , I'll upload slips tomorrow, really was hoping to get high 11s but seeing other cars run slower made me happy

It is very hard to get these 550's into the 11s. These cars just do not launch properly, the tcu holds too much power back in 1st gear. What was your MPH on your 12.2 run. I would assume at least 115mph.

Here is my 0-100 KPH on a wet day. (equivalent to 0-60 mph)
Still waiting for a sunny day to fully prep the launch.

damn Coco I can't wait to see the build on your car. I was on boost addict and aside from the tune and turbos all the parts you needed came out to $400 bucks?? I didn't know you had a former renntech guy tune it either you lucky bum. I can't wait to see it on the track. What I'm curious though is in your dyno was the transmission broken in yet? or was that just a preliminary run not pushing the car?
These cars are great for roll racing but they absolutely are terrible in the 1/4 mile. A bunch of guys around here have e55s, m4s and c7 vettes all running mid 11's. from a roll I am right with them or beating them but these cars suck at the track to launch. they just simply dont get out of the hole like a car with 600lb tq should. best Ive seen a 4matic sedan cut for a 60ft was 1.89.
For reference my old lightly modded E55 was running 11.7xs on street tires with the same mph as my E550.

Yes, all the parts for turbo upgrade is only $400 USD around.
Of course, turbo is not included.
New gasket, new o-ring, and new copper nuts...etc.
Its a straight swap.
The dyno was done after 600 miles run...
And the dyno is a mustang dyno, normally it has lower reading than Dynojet.
A friend of mine, his stock 2015 E63s dyno'ed with same dyno machine last Sept, got 480 wtq / 494 wtq.
But People on this forum, stock E63s usually dyno'ed 530whp/550wtq with Dynojet.
Thats 10% of difference.
so, I m not sure if my result should be 10% more or not to match up Dynojet numbers.
