Road & Track E63 wagon test
Anyone pick up this issues yet. I glanced at the article, but I didn't read it properly.
Their times were 0 - 60 in 4.1; 1/4 mile in 12.6 @ 114 or something like that. From what I read there was no mention of the 6.2L engine lacking in any way. Based on those times it looks like that 63 was running as advertised.
I don't know much about V8 Kompressor wagons, but I remember C & D testing one and getting almost identical times.

.........read it. It was very positive. Very good et and trapspeed. The Kompressor wagon had very impressive times as well when tested by one of the mags a few years ago. Bother wagons were faster than the sedans.

Your car needs Jenny Craig .... or maybe a light set of wheels and Evo brakes. You will drop about 80 lbs in unsprung weight which is huge.

Here ya go:
Designed as a direct brake disc replacement for the OE E/CLS/S/CL55 AMG brake discs on all four corners (No modifications are necessary. The disc will bolt directly to the car and work with OE AMG brake calipers). Not only will the upgraded multi-piece "floating" discs help mitigate brake fade, but are lighter than stock and reduce unsprung weight by a total of 34lbs. on all four corners! This means better acceleration, braking and cornering. In addition, you get to maintain the AMG calipers without going to a more expensive solution that requires replacing them. Available drilled or slotted or slotted.
P.S. Vic, save your expertise for the basket weaving questions.
