Apparently, (according to Renntech's testing) Mercedes can claim up to 526 HP and 532 LB-FT on their stock numbers and still be 100% accurate (for the non-S variant).

Oddly enough when I was at weistec they had a stock glc on the dyno. Put out 431 to the wheels. 20% drive train loss puts you at 517hp. Very odd but they laughed that people wanted the “S”. They claimed there isn’t much of a difference. I asked about the dynamic engine mounts and they said it just makes you feel the road and the car more. Nothing to be said about here in the states.

I know my Glc will kick the hell outta anything now lol

Those numbers seem really strong given it's a slush box trans and all wheel drive. As soon as I get 1875 mi I'll have the diff fluid changed and have Dynocomp in Scottsdale do some pulls. I'm more concerned with the torque numbers as that's what gets you moving.

Does it need a diff fluid change or is that for RWD models? I took my 2016 GLE63s to dealer for that and they said it was not needed.

There is a sticker on the front windshield "ADDITIONAL OIL CHANGE" To protect the axle differential gears better, the oil must be changed once after the running in phase of 1,875 mi
Not a RWD.

Thanks but question was about the SUV not the Coupe. It was a typo on MBUSA that's been fixed. Enjoy that Monster Coupe.

Well Renntech makes a tuner that I have for my Coupe. Add some methanol catch another 40 to 70 HP Their are two different octane tunes, the 93 plus tune on 100 puts you about 630 plus the methanol. I’m seeing a monster SUV the best part is watching a Hellcat in your rear view by a few cars. Their are quite a few cars that will enjoy, The best part of your AMG the, Tail Lights!!!
