Has anyone gotten a 3.4 second 0-60?
Have any of you actually gotten a 3.4 second 0-60 on a stock 2014-2016 E63 S 4Matic like Motor Trend says? I've only recorded a 0-60 once and it was after an hour of driving enthusiastically, if you will, and flooring it constantly. I had my friend use a timer in the passenger seat and I just told him when it hit 60. We timed it at 4.3 which is way off from the 3.4 from Motor Trend and 3.3 and 3.2 from Car and Driver and Road and Track, respectively. Could this be just the weather and other factors? It was about 60 degrees and dry outside. Also, the car was on Yokohama Advan All Season ultra high performance tires so that has some to do with it but could tires really be adding .9 seconds? Is part of it that the speedometer lags behind the actual speed? We were reading based off the needle. I did not use race start and I either had traction control on or in sport and did not use brake torquing. Thanks.

A member here ran a stock 1/4 of 11.5, and if you do some basic "track math" the 0-60mph works out to be about 2.8-3.4 seconds
The car mags instruments are more accurate I think than the speedometer in your car

This is a large part of your explanation. Most reports from the dragstrip suggest that brake torqueing is the fastest start from a standstill. In any event, either race start or torque braking is significantly faster than simply flooring it.

The one and I think only time I had an unsanctioned race with someone in my E63S was racing a guy on a crotch rocket; I used race start and he hooked up very well and we hung neck and neck until I let off at 70 ... not one person gained or lost anything.. he was always in my passenger front window the whole time...

Computer dials back torque (torque management) to avoid costly repairs..get a tune and you'll be smiling

Your methodology for achieving accurate 0-60 times is highly flawed, leaving any data recorded to be nonsense. Of course you are recording slow times, you are relying on a inaccurate speedo and a human to record the time. When we are talking about tenths of a second you need instrumentation to accurately record the delta. Race logic sells a Vbox for $500 that can give you the results of what the car is actually running.
FWIW, my stock 2014 CLS63-S ran 3.6 0-60 Vbox verified while using race start.

2016 AMG S65, AMG GL63, 2012 AMG E63 With AMS Alpha 9 Package, Renntech 200 Catted Downpipes.
I hope my e63 with the AMS Alpha 9 tune and Renntech downpipes can hit the 10.7@135mph and 0-60@3.2. The numbers sure looks good for a daily driver and the competition I've had encounter.
Just the other day. Took on the new BMW i8 sure glad it wasn't just a ECU tune.

I think the best bet for the E63 guys to hit 10's is to tune/downpipes and really sticky tires.

A few of us have been very close to 10's with very little work. My CLS63 with just a tune and R888's on the rear ran 11.14. I think with better track conditions and down pipes I could have managed a 10.9. SDG1871 ran 11.1 with stock tires, I know I dropped a tenth with better tires, so on a good day he can run 10.9 with R888's slapped on.

with 4.0 I was getting constant 11.0 127mph on street tires at 4400 ft elevation , with 0 problems with the car , no I'm reading the forum and now I'm not sure if I want that switch , but the original plan was to get W4 kit .

If they are, I haven't read about it
Most are running renntech, ams, or eurocharged or rebellion tunes
Renntech is seemingly the most popular
I haven't yet read about weistec biturbo owners but clearly that doesn't mean they don't exist

I was using weistec before and I was very happy with M156 motor , AMS alpha 9 sounds similar to weistec w3 , I came to find some reviews , seems like I won't find them here

Have you considered the RS7 with a tune? I've seen them run lighting fast 1/4 times for tune only.
What times do you want the car to run?

Audi has no such problem. My friend with nothing more than a tune and countless exhaust running MS109s regularly does 10.3s in his APR tuned Miltek catless exhaust RS7. From a roll the fight is much more even.
