E55 and Tuned E550/550i

How would a stock E55 do against a 2011+ tuned E550 and tuned BMW 550i from a 60-150 roll?

I think you mean 2012+ E550, right? The TT version is what im guessing you meant.. Well I saw one dyno of a 2012 cls550 and it dynoed at 490 wrhp and over 500 rwtq, so I think it would be a pretty close race.. One member with a new 550 and Renntech tune ran 12.5 in the 1/4 mile, so it wouldnt destroy it I dont think..

What ?! 2012 CLS550 makes 402 hp and 443 lbs/feet. Going on the dyno without any mods automatically increased it's power ?

I recently raced a E Coupe with the 4.4L twin turbo and it kept up with me right up until 110+.
Then i started pulling away from it

I got into it with a new E63, it is Fast off the line, (launch control, I beleive), he got got a few car length's on me and at about the 1/8 mile point I started reeling him in, shut it down at around 1/4 point and he was up by maybe 5ft.. I would have taken him and he knew it..

All he would need to do is call up Renntech and get a tune and he would be making over 600 at the wheels..

Are you stock or modded?

What did it trap?

It's in STD numbers, which is about 380rwhp SAE before tune and 474rwhp SAE after tune

I dunno if it was tuned.
Im a stage II EC car but i had two passengers, the E Coupe was a 100lb girl or some prince looking type thing. Whatever it was was driving like a jackass and was not afraid to take me on. Three pulls i came out ahead every time.

Well and filters..Here it is copied directly from the article (which I can not post)

2012 E63 Renntech Tune...607whp/710wtq!!!
So last week I sent my ECU out to Renntech to have it tuned. Everything went very smoothly, and I received it back two days later as planned, along with a couple of BMC Air Filters. Like a kid on Christmas morning, I opened the box and installed the goodies right away. Then I took the car for a spin.

Now, mind you, I've read all the reviews and power results on these M157 tunes, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would have the effect it did. The car felt strong before, but now it feels AMAZING! Stock-like driveability at partial throttle, but at WOT, all hell breaks loose. Mashing the throttle on the freeway at speed even spins the tires loose. This thing is a monster!

To make sure the results I felt on the street could be verified on the dyno, I took the car down to MD Automotive in Westminster to check the power output. Keep in mind this is the same shop used in all the Edmunds.com dyno reviews. It's a typical, run-of-the-mill Dynojet 248, and Mark the owner is a really nice guy.

Car: 2012 E63 AMG Non-PP
Modifications: BMC Air Filters, Renntech Tune
Fuel: 95 octane mix via blend of Chevron 91 and VP Racing 100
Ambient Conditions: 75 deg F, 28.79 Baro, 59% Humidity
Dyno Type: Dynojet 248
Peak Results (4th gear): 607whp & 710wtq SAE Corrected!!!

Attached below is a picture of the dyno graph printout. Besides amazing peak power, note how smooth the curves are, and how safe the AFR looks.

Needless the say, I couldn't be happier with these results. Much thanks to George and team at Renntech for the great customer service and a top-notch product.

Next up...the Airstrip Attack event hosted by Shift-S3ctor Nov 10-11. I think this car is really going to surprise some people there. Can't wait!

Last weekend I ran a CLS 550 from about 70+ and killed it. I am stock with an ECU/TCU tune. It sure looked sweet though!

I believe that, the problem is it's not just a regular tuned car. They're running race gas! I'm sure they can bolt on a 100hp shot and make well over 700hp Also, I've recently met several people with Renntech tuned biturbos and all of them were right around 560-570 at the wheels and that was wit filters.
