Would of liked to Kill this E63...

lol.. Im at the car wash and out of the tunnel right before my car comes out is a plain jane looking W212 E63... Then my car rolls out (C63)... All the sudden the guy looks and me and smirks and says wanna race? Im like sure! Then he procedes to tell me that he has a RennTech ECU upgrade and its super fast. Im like thats cool... I also have work done.. He then says again, its RennTech! Im like i hear ya. I have a flash too and a short list of things done... Mine is pretty quick too... He replys.. Yeah sure it is...

You know.. Im a car guy... I can shoot the shat about nuts and bolts all day.. This dude has no clue.... Theres aways someone faster... or at least someone that thinks they are... Would of been a pretty good match up....

Oh well..... Just got a little irate thinking about it after the fact....

I think you'd would've killed his douchebag smirky ***.

You're lighter with more mods than just an ECU tune. Find him and destroy him next time.

Sounds like the typical guy (or gal for that matter) who thinks that just because they paid more for their car...and their mods...that it MUST be faster.

Pride getting in the way of having perspective on his part. Should have shown him the way

Oh I hope it wasnt a 2012 W212 E63 because his then Renntech tuned car is "that" much faster. The Renntech tune on the TT engine is solid.

There are subtle differences...

Wheels are usually the clear give away with some 2012's have the new 10 spoke variation.

If the car is equipped with the PP and its a 2012 you will see the red calipers. If it isnt then you have to look at the city lights. The 2010's and 11's have clear city lights (inside of the headlights) while the 2012's have projector looking city lights.

Here is a 2012 front end:

If it was W212 E63 55TT with Rentech tune then he might walk you because it might be a 10's car. I remember saw somewhere 11.1 or 11.2 for CLS63TT so E63TT should hit 10's ......
