600+ on the crossfire must be at the crank or highly overrated.i've seen those cars run high 11's on a tune,pulleys and intake.at 600+ it should be a 10 second car.


but you got to love the 10 sec big car on basically a tune.damn i wish i had an extra 100 geasles laying around.

Basically a tune? He has exhaust and upgraded intercoolers. Sounds like big buck items to me. Impressive nonetheless.

This right here! ^^^^^^

Ive driven this Crossfire at the track. And ran 11.30 on a 1.8 60ft. This car has a lot left in her. And I know Jim, and he is doing some touch up things on this car. It will be a 10 sec car for sure.

I had the pleasure of driving one of these at TimmayFest, it belonged to Andy from MHP, only it was an E63 Biturbo. The car is on another level compared to our W211 E55's.

I had two adults around 220lbs each in the car along with myself, and it felt light as a feather. There is zero turbo lag, and when I got back to the car show, and asked Andy what he did to the tranny, he said it was bone stock. I could not believe it, it shifts as quick as a DCT tranny imo, and switching to AMG mode with sport 1 on, the shifts got so firm and hard it reminded me of the jerkiness you get from a large pulley engaging when the blower kicks in.

It is game over with these cars, nice thing about the E63, it looks very tame and sleeper like, you would never guess the type of violence that car can put out.

Lol this use to be the story of our cars.. These 63tt are honestly brutal!

I ran a stock CLS63 a month ago without PP and took him by half a car to a car length from 60-130, after 130 he slowly started to creep up but we ran out of road..

Your worst nightmare...
Thumbs up for both cars, I love the Chrysler as it's very innovative and when dialed in will be super fast, or faster than what it is. Love the E63 for its raw HP. Definitely sleeper status.

they run 11 flat with tune only,i'm sure they will break 11 on a tune only soon enough at the right track(that was +2000DA),if they haven't already.

thank you for pointing out the big buck items though.

there was a crossfire that met up with us at bb the other weekend when you were on house arrest that runs high 11's and i'm pretty sure all he has is a supercharged 32. dreamer can correct me if i'm wrong since those are his boys, but i dont think he has a 55k motor swap.
