#'s like this always get big attention...
I ran a 12.35 this spring and had a accelerometer on my car and ran a 3.98 0-60 time (the acelerometer was within +/- .007 of the recorded track times). My 60' was in the 1.86 second range.
I ran a 12.16 with a 1.799 60' time. Does my 0-60 time get to high 3.7 range?
Lot's of E55's run 12.0x's and a few in the high 11's stock so no my times are really no big deal...
What is more interesting (and impressive) is the type of of 0-60 times are the guys clocking 11.4'-11.8's on this forum are running (and there are a lot of them)...
I am guessing a 11.5 is in the 3.5 range to 60, maybe less.

junk
The higher the number the shorter the gear. The longer 1st would actually be a disadvantage in the CLS. With those numbers you can plainly see that 6th and 7th are really two overdrives meant for fuel economy. While you can't mess with the actual gear ratios themselves unless you want to completely rebuild the tranny, you can change the rear end out, though I don't know anyone who makes an aftermarket rear end for these cars.
dude if thats real thats the greatest sig ever...

I will need such perfection to go sub 12.4, its kinda exciting that you did this man. I hope you can get a few more runs in to inch it down a few tiks. Thanks for the dragtimes bump!! And thanks for participating in the sport!

Anyhow, I'll get them back and we'll see the next time I meet up with Greg (
).What is this drag times? Is that where I should post my 54 slips?
Back on topic, a heads up race is all driver between these cars. The saving grace for the 55s is the ability to make such dramatic differences with about $5 - $10K worth of mods. Once the 63 gets forcibly aspirated, it will be a monster to deal with. It is the same philosophy that MB used to launch the '03 55. There are 2 ways to gain power. Displacement and Induction. The 55 had it, but once the 63 is boosted I may need one.

I spoke with one of the AMG techs at the S. Charlotte dealership about this exact topic. He said that even though the engines were basically they same they were geared slightly different. For that reason, he thought that the CLS would have just a slight edge.
Just like everyone else, I would like to find out first hand.
Anyone around the Charlotte, NC with a stock E55 or E63?
