That car is not for real. There are no headers on it. They do not have headers for sale yet and that is just some dealership blowing smoke at this point.
I should say that RENNtech has nothing to do with those claims and its the seller trying to sell a car not RENNtech trying to sell parts.
At this point RENNtech has software for the car and headers are in the works. Together we will see some very nice figures for the car but nothing has been released yet and that E63 is not what the sell claims.
Just wanted to clear that up so people dont start saying RENNtech is full of bs etc. Its the seller being a

that's just icing on the cake
I've heard the 65 broke into the 10's and literally broke the tranny after no way a 600 is doing 10.79

just email renntek and tell them about this BS. if someone buys this car and it cant run the times they were promised or push the power they claimed then renntek have egg on their face damaging their image as a tuner. they should threaten a law suit to **** them up lol

What I'm interested in knowing is, if in fact some ill-informed sap with more money than common sense (a fool and his money blah blah) does in fact buy this thing, what happens when he notices that none of these mods are actually done?

A stock E55k at that
Talked to a dealer, (My buddy is buying a used E55k, ask me to go with) now onto the fun part.....Dealer "Ahh have you seen the new E63?" my friend "Ahh I want more power I've heard from my bro the 55k kicks the most azz " dealer "Oh but the 63 now has a Chip! it's faster than the 55 w/the Chip!" I start laughing pretty much gave the salesmen an educational seminar on the E55k v. E63 w/30hp chip
Not putting you 63'rs down but reality is 55k kicks down the door between the 2 perf wise...especially aftermarket mods wise which this friend of mine is interested in doing, this all happened this morning @ local Merc dealer...
They actually took us on a forced E63 ttest drive, beautiful ride, but right after came the used E55 total BEAST
in comparo....
Needless to say my buddy, is checking on a couple other e55k this weekend Calabasas area T-oaks dealers I'm goin along for some evil test drives
and to open my trap to dispell the Chip being worth anymore than a good dip in a bowl of guacamole'
Once again only in comparison to aftermarket 55k mods(and initial seat of pants torque in E55k) don't get my sentiment wrong here, there both beautiful fast rides..

Renntech does have headers now for the E63. Also, that dealer is local to Renntech and almost every car they sell has full renntech mods on brand new Mercedes. Renntech does lots of cars for them.
I believe the times are possible even though the dealer is probably full of **** like all dealers. Someone on this forum ran an 11.8 or 11.9 with his STOCK E55 with DR's and K&N. An E63 with headers and ECU puts out at least 555HP and 510lbs of TQ.

high 11's are possible with a stock E55 with good weather and track prep, I ran 12.07 @ 116.3 totally stock down to the original conti's while hot lapping the car, video here:
http://www.dragtimes.com/2005-Merced...deos-7808.html
with a little better weather and not hot lapping it could have hit 11's, but it never happened.... as for the trap speeds, I haven't seen any stock E55s breaking 119 MPH traps....
ET is all about the launch, trap speeds are all about power.... even with headers and ecu, I don't see the E63 pulling those traps..
