Impressive, looks like you are having quite a bit of fun. Are you shifting with the paddles or is that the automatic transmission shifting?

Since I own the GL350, and it will never get into that class of performance, I'm thinking I shouldn't have watched that video. I love watching the front rise up as you hit the accelerator.

Yeah, but you certainly will be spending far less time at the gas station than me!

Nice job, Derek. Those videos were fun to watch. Thanks!

Boy is that speedo moving quickly - particularly for such a heavy vehicle.

No, HIDs are stock, but I got the lighting package and it's rather like daylight in front of me, the headlights work very well.

Thank you very much derek. Now my GL that I've owned since 2007 seems less than adequate. I hate you.

You have a budget GL63 now. What's the OE tune make on the GL?

According to OE's website the tune for the 4.6 liter twin turbo engine on the e550, s550 etc...will bring it to 500hp/580lb, so I imagine that it's around that range since the gl450 is essentially a detuned engine.

Jeremy should have a general idea? Jeremy?

Hi. New to the forum and Mercedes fold - haven't had a chance to post yet about the purchase but will soon. Q

I have a 2013 GL450 - are these the figures for that vehicle. I couldn't see it on your website.

What are the stock numbers you get for the 2013 GL450 when you run it on a dyno?

$955 – M278 500/550 Bi-Turbo - Stage 1 & Stage 2
Quoted figures are at flywheel.

As we experienced high call volume today, we have decided to extend our 20% off holiday sale until Friday 4th. We will be back during regular hours January 2nd.
Happy New Year!
