E55 vs E63 same day dyno test?

Anyone think this will be worthwhile experiment ?

Using the same dyno on the same day and same calibrations, we can see how it compares. However, I noticed you are in the UK, and there's the rumors saying the US cars seem to be more restricted than the Euro counterparts.

I think a same-day comparo is about the best thing one could do to put a large facet of this discussion to rest.

I've been trying to set up the same thing locally. It's looking like Atlanta might be the first possibility for same-day, same-dyno testing.

Not happening ... the shops's current dyno cannot handle the torque ...

Yes. We have booked the dyno for the day and will also be hitting the drags for the back-to-back comparisons.....just two weeks to go!

Stay tuned....

Dragon & I will hopefully be going to Dynojet next Saturday. We'll have his K2+ and my Renn 5 and possibly a stock E55. So...if there's anybody out there with a 63 in So. Nevada or nearby, we would love to have you join in.
