2013 Mercedes GL550
Mercedes GL550 0 to 60 times?

I was just curious what 0 to 60 times everyone is getting from their GL550 both stock or with any of the ECU tunes (Please specify). I know the factory states 5.5 seconds stock for the X166 GL550 but I am getting 5.2 seconds from mine.

I was surprised to see that there really isn't any Youtube videos of anyone 0 to 60 times with regards to the X166 GL550.

Carrera S;

With you-able to throw anything into it-we do a lot of boating with a lot of "stuff".

I haven't tried 0-60 but it moves nicely. One of the comparisons I made was Porsche Cayenne GTS @ 5.4 sec and GL550 @ 5.5 sec. GTS very nice but space limited-obviously wouldn't want to do winding country roads against GTS.

We have Active Curve and On/Off Road and it is simply great.

Car and Driver has the GL550 at 5.4 and the GL450 at 5.8. In one of their more recent long term tests the GL450 went 5.9.

Sub 6 is just amazing for 450.
