E63,,,not any more,,,BMW X5 50i
I read with great interest regarding the times that was posted. I called Mercedes and spoke with a tech..Robert Dashel. He did admit that the 63 does not have the initial thrust of the 55, however, he felt that it should do better ALOT better than what Derek has posted. His comment was that the 63 should be somewhere around no higher than the mid 12's. He said that if it was him, he would take the vehicle back to the dealership and have them look at it. He did also admit that during the recent AMG days in Jersey, they took the 55 and the 63 to the track and the majority of times the 63 won, but there were some runs that the 55 won.He went on to say the the overall experience of the 63 vs the 55 is a no brainer. The 63 is a better car OVERALL. He did also admit the the thrust of the 55 could not be matched by the NA 63 off the line, but as the rpm's rose the 63 should have been able to get the 55 on the top end. Bottom line to all this....I don't know except that I think that Derek's car might have had problems, but until the time trials begin, this is only speculation. The tech also said that the 63's are not fitted with any limiter.

.........perfectly willing to agree that there may be something wrong with Derek's car. However, adding to the confusion are the absolutely fantastic acceleration figures that have been released for E63. Figures that we now know came from somebody's calculator. Derek is the only one we know that has taken the car to a drag strip and obtained actual real numbers. He rembered to forget his calculator at home and just gave us plain real numbers. Anyone that thinks the E63 is faster is free to do the same including the tech you speak of. We will embrace those numbers just as much as we embrace Derek's. Fron now on no more calculators!!!

Dang! I guess the pressure is really on me (and my car) tommorow. I better go on a diet (I'm currently 235..some laxative and a quick diet should get me down a few pounds), fill the tires with helium, remove the spare tire, windshield wipers, floor mats, owners manual, windshield washer fluid, extra headrests, cds, breath mints, etc.

I actually thought about coming out, sounds like it's going to be an AWESOME event.
