My SLS Vs my E63 Wagon 1/4 Mile

Hey guys,

Today I went to a great Drag event at PBIR with my E63 Wagon and SLS. My wife piloted the E63 while I drove the SLS, we both ran in race start. Both times I felt were pretty strong. Ignore the reaction times, she was having trouble with RS and I was walking her through it over the bluetooth, lol.

The E63 is completely stock, the SLS has a tune.

Yikes, that was close, next time you need her to take the kids in the car to simulate real life action.

Lol, if that was the case she would never make it down the 1/4, as she would be pulling over to yell and fetch upside-down sippy cups

I was pretty shocked by the E's time, its a VERY heavy wagon and just doesn't seem that quick, I was guessing low 12's

Haha, I can totally relate with the bouts of screaming in our family hauler. That e wagon is a pretty serious car, I always had a soft spot for that car. I remember attending seven different AMG driving academy in the past and they would always bring an E 63 wagon. At the end of the day when the drivers were asked which car impressed the most, besides the obvious answer of the SLS , I would say about 80% would rate the e wagon as the next best thing. Remember, they had every variation of AMG there, C, E, S, ML, SL etc.
