Guys hold on your 63 purchases!

prices for the new 6.3 seem to be already falling, just imagine in a couple more months!! Some dealers are already discounting 3-4k off the MSRP. (Check out Ebay)...If the new 6.3 doesn't seem to follow what the manufacturer announced in terms of hp & 0-60mph,,, more and more buyers are definitely gonna think twice before their purchase. Lets at least wait for more feedback especially from the AMG folks and lets hope they take our concerns SERIOUSLY!!!

Perhaps I have missed it, but have there been any independant 0-60 tests published? If so where and what were the results?

Well, if you shop around a little longer or ask an auto broker (Amil ajf1 is one of them). You can get a pretty decent discount on the 63 already

Haven't seen many E63s being publicly discounted..YET. But, Glauser is offering 8K off MSRP for their CLK63 cab.

Not to be a pest, but these are your words.

Are there any 0-60 tests out there showing the E63 coming up short from mfg claims?

Please let us know what 0-60 tests you are referring to (or correct the content of your post to remove this unproven accusation).

Thanks. I am just trying to keep the facts straight.

It's interesting with all of the dyno & dragstrip controversy over the E63, that I can't find one test from a magazine that states there is an issue with the 63's performance. A quick internet search yields a bunch of first drives, which say it's all good by the seat of the pants, but quote factory numbers AND a couple of British & German tests (CAR & Autobild) which seem to validate the factory's numbers. Has anyone found anything different?

I have a speculation for the differences between what has been advertised and tested in Europe and what we have seen from our forum breatheren, something got screwed up in making the US cars compliant for the EPA. Maybe a reflash will appear shortly and the missing hp will be found.

I wonder if these models are different enough from previous year's models to entice the U.S. magazines to conduct their own tests.

What I'm actually curious to see is what the good folks at Brabus, Renntech and Kleemann come up with when they start playing around with the new engine. Perhaps they'll discover something we don't yet know?
