Only he can say for sure, he may have been testing track prep with his launch technique for a ***** out run, etc.

1/8 mile traps are 3mph off.

His 60' on the first run was very good.

The V12s are beasts but they don't sound as good as the V8s, they just don't. Too smooth sounding for me. They are P.O.W.E.R.F.U.L though!!

On another note, why haven't the M157s gotten into the 9s yet?!! The RS7s are pretty much into the 9s yet the M157 isn't yet. The M157 has better potential than the V12s and is lighter. Isn't the Weistec E63 making over 700whp, surely that's enough for 9s. The fastest E class is still an E55, the new cars haven't beaten that record and if they have it's not posted.

I think the 4 wheel drive models should be in the 9's very soon.

You have never heard my SL. It is pure evil. One of the best sounding engines I've ever heard. Of course, no where near stock.

I can imagine, they do sound great. I'm just a V8 nut that's all. Actually the V12s sound so good with the MCT gearbox.

It sounds alot better with catless downpipes and cutouts/muffler delete, it might sound like a diesel truck on idle but when you let off or shift at 6k rpm on these cars they sound amazing

Yes, it does sound much better than the Pagani but it has similar turbo and bov noises.
