C55k Kleemann S7 compare performance wise to the E55 or E63?
Or C63? Any around St. Louis? I would love to go on a 'spirited' ride to see the difference if there is any. I know it will be a bit heavier but I wonder how the performance will compare? Anyone have any links to some speedo runs? Here's my C55k s7 doing its business
75 to 165
58 to 123
Eased into the 58mph video (as full throttle under 65, breaks the car loose and engages ESP)... all flat surfaces, 65 degree, clear, low alt (500ft)

looks like ur 100 to 140mph time is ~9sec.....thats exactly like an M5 with filters---in other words---pretty fast and faster than a stock E55 or C63.

I havent got a chance to track it yet, March 21st it will be @ the 1/4, so i will get some fresh numbers... but both the C63 and E63 look so damn good i dont know what to due 
Last time it was tracked was 2 years ago, just after the mods got put on and it was around 11.80's @ 119 with stock rubber (Continentals?)
I have Michelin Pilot SP2 Sports on there now and seem to be a world of difference... but still regular rubber

Nice runs! 
You're one of the few lucky ones who's still running the kleemann twin screw design s/c. Since you're running k cams it should be S8.

alumar,
Great way to put some pieces together in this puzzle is to make sure you make it up here for our dyno day... would be very interesting to see your graphs compared to various 55 cars...

Hi!
That looks like you have those 500+ HP on the crank and not the wheels. As a comparsion, here is my 420 crank HP N/A E55 W210 doing 100-140 Mph ( 160-225 Km/h) in 10,5 sek. Compare that to your 9,5 sec on the same run makes if aprox 100 HP more powerful, crank HP.
420 HP N/A W210 E55 100-140 Mph 10,5 sec
I'm not into hi-jack your thread, just give you an idea of where your car is at horsepowerwise to my 420 HP.
Now I'm really curious how my car will respond with the Roots S/C i'm going to have installed in April
EDIT: Just want to note that my car is quite a lot slower then a stock W211 E55 in a 50-250 Km/h race.

hopefully there will be some other 55's and/or 63's at the track on the 21st. But there is ample postings on the board i can compare it to once i get some fresh track numbers.

I think 537bhp at the crank sounds more like it. 537rwhp translates to 671hp (with 20% drivetrain loss with 19in wheels) at the crank which is impossible even for an Kleemann S8. My car with two damaged pistons made 448rwhp with the same 70mm pulley before going under the knife.
