Here is the article directly from Edmunds Inside Line:
http://blogs.insideline.com/straight...z-s63-amg.html
Also, one thing to remember is that Edmunds Inside Line averages the last 66' of the 1/4m run to come up with a trap speed similar to a drag strip. Other magazines just use the GPS speed at the 1/4m end.
Here are also so compararables:

RE: S63 Numbers
0-60 and 1/4 mile times/trap are pretty much identical to 2007 Car & Driver test of W211 E63. This engine will fly in a W212, especially with the P30 package. The exhaust didn't sound so bad either..at least the S Class version.
W212 styling has not grown on me, but I'm going to ask my dealer to let me test drive one.

I would use the Edmunds times for the E63 W211. This way it is more of an apples-to-apples comparison because they do some unusual things like I had mentioned about the averaging of the last 66' of the 1/4m run.

this was a S63 with PP option. More boost.
4900lbs.
Also, Fontana is not the best location for testing either.. lots of wind, its over 1000 in elevation.
116+ at Fontana is very good.

On my CL600, I got an additional 125 RWHP with a Renntech tune. I'd imagine that 80 - 100 RWHP would be doable with a tune. The displacement on the new 63 engine is the same as the CL600. However, direct injection may make the E63tt a little more difficult to tune.

imagine this nice engine on the CLS.
damn it will be fast.
new V8TT have been already tuned. stock with a tune = 620hp, 1000NM
i would like to think what a down-pipe cattless will do to these cars. i think MIN 50hp more.

Or bring back the CLK Black Series and stick it in there, but yeah the C would definitely be something special.(-300lbs to make it wicked)
