2013 E550 Coupe V8 biturbo
New member
Hey guys, was a member a few yrs ago. Had a 2007 CLK550. Just sold
and bought 2013 E550C looking for a bump in performance. The old
car was quick, probably 13.00 flat in the 1/4. Havent driven it yet except
to get it home so cant compare (don't drive in winter). A lot of anticipation
considering what I have read on this site. Tune possibilities are exciting.
Down side is one wheel peel. The old car always spun both tires.


Tom

2013 E550 Coupe V8 biturbo
Update after a couple months. Detailed the motor since its winter and not driving. Installed AFE air filters. Removed and polished the chrome exhaust tips. And added the
OEM V8 biturbo decals. (little old school like me) Looking to run at the dragstrip this
season to get a baseline. Don't see enough track details on this forum. Any other
suggestions that you really liked would be appreciated ..........
