These results seem amazingly good - ? too good. Look at the Cayenne Turbo S at 5.3 (#67). Everything I have read puts 'em neck and neck with the ML. The ML even smokes a viper (#43). Now I will shutup, print this chart and keep it in the glove box for bragging rights.

I like how the ML63 is quicker than the new Cayenne Turbo S, I hope these are well tested results.

............too many numbers flying around. Derek just did the first true 1/4 mile run on his brand new E63 and managed a best 1/4 mile time of 13.01 @108mph. Now his E63 is for sale. You can't tell me that the ML63 will be expected to be faster than the E63. Derek is an experienced driver, so go figure.

All this hype around derek is too early, his car is not broken in, another guy claims that he beats the e55 epsecially on start, we also saw a video of e63 launching and beating e55 k2 for a moment tho, the other guy took e63 froma dealer to race his slk55 i bet that one also didnt have much milage, just wait and see. I do belive that ML63 is FAST.

BoBcanada has a valid point; I think a proper test would be taking it to the strip once the motor has a couple thousand miles on it. It would be interesting to note a difference.

..........good point except he did the same thing to his E55 and ran mid 12 in the 1/4 mile. He did the same thing to his new M5 and I was there that day and it ran low 13's. He sold the M5. These results still stand today. If you are lucky, and a very skilled driver you might break into the high 12's with a North American version of the new M5. So, this i not the first time Derek has done this. Why is this the only time that brreak in period is the problem? While I agree that a good break in period will help, placing too much fate in it as a salvation for the E63 is a bit too optimistic. Look at it this way, even if the car sheds a whopping 0.5 sec in the 1/4 mile after the break in period, it will still be slower than an E55. Lets just hope there is something wrong with Derek's car or Dreks's driving, because if nothing is wrong, then the E63 is in such trouble that even a proper break in period will not solve.

Guys as i said did any of you red the article on how sofisticated the engine was? Plus the car needs to learn you driving right and i belive in every single mode, So my point is you have to drive it 2-3 thousand miles daily break it in, change fluids and than maybe take it to the drag?

ALso do you remember gustav post and i red many others that m5s engine gets faster with more miles on it, maybe thats the case with the e63! I mean i know its gay and i know e55k is awesome car, but i dont belive that AMG who 1st time build their own ENGINE would make it any slower than m5 or better yet old E55k.

Vlad.
