Is it possible my CPO car was tuned before I bought it.

Is there a way I can tell if my car has a tune already installed? I bought a 2017 S550 4-Matic in November, and for various reasons I haven't driven it much until the last couple weeks. I had been given a 2022 S500 to drive by the dealer as a loaner to use while my car was being serviced. My S550 "feels" like it accelerates much faster than the other car, even though the HP numbers are similar. Is there a way to find out?

You could try doing a lunch with the engine data screen on that shows the horsepower and torque in COMAND or you can take the vehicle in to the dyno. Open the hood and check for signs of tuning. Like new intakes etc, It is also possible the vehicle is fitted with a pedal box as well so check that.

What are those litttle boxes called that can measure your 0-60 time? I've seen them a few times in videos but never in person.
