Totally agree with Gaspam and Fairbird! I also know there are far faster cars out there that dont even post on forums etc. Coming from a gofast hobby in the GM LSX world, Mercedes is entirely different on every level. I've had a couple vettes, Cts-v's, Ol Fbody drag cars etc and those platforms are great for going fast either roll racing or dragstrip. Tuning is extremely accessible, either doing it yourself or paying $600 or so for a veteran to do it. 10 sec 130+ ¼ mile times are attainable within the first week of ownership. It seems that community of car nuts also shares a TON of information with each other with a common goal of going fast. Mercedes is quite the opposite from my experience. Everything is top secret even just information about changing stock parts out or where sensors are lol. If I wanted to go fast the easiest possible route it wouldn't be a Merc but enjoy the challenge.

Our community never used to be like this, at least when it came to hardware. We experimented with parts and always shared results and part numbers. It wasn't until the big tuning companies got involved that everything became a big secret. With that said I think the biggest part of the blame goes to MB for being such douchebags about software access. Actually, I shouldn't even limit that statement to software access. They are the same way when it comes to hardware access too. They cut our community off from buying many parts unless we could prove we owned the car the parts were made for! How idiotic is that!

just a theory, but i think MB getting stronger encryption is preemptive prevention of remote hacking like what happened to the jeeps especially with MB being close to coming out with driverless cars

edit: i think i remember powerhaus performance did a compressor/turbine upgrade but cant remember the HP results but i remember they made about 100whp more than they did on weistec w3 kit as they had that on their car before

Powerhaus E63 made 642whp on Mustang Dyno compared to Weistec W3 E63 with between 530 to 540whp, all of pump gas apparently.

I guess because this is probably more accurate of what really happens when both are just tuned normally on pump gas.

Man I feel for you...If you do not want to go the German turner route , have you tried renntech? I mean on of the fastest Es was running their setup at one point 
I wasn't really , but any way I came from audi and porsche car scene , I never saw on those forums that little information about cars projects , results you call it .
I had S4 b5 , took me 3 weeks to get 900+ out of it , and 4 month to collect all the parts .
I've build S6 with 4.0TT took me 9 hours to get it to 740 hp and 11.0 1/4 mile , 9 HOURS !!! including everything !
plenty of info about porsche's , got it to 600 awhp easy with custom tune .
My GC srt8 , 6 hours to put SC on , 2 more days to tune it , 11000 miles no issues , 11.5 1/4 mile on that pig .
5 years ago I built firs 5th gen camaro , 7L , procharger , 1100 hp , I was one of the first who did it , took me 6 month total , with no part or info .
M157 platform out there 5 years already !!
I own benz almost year , the car is down for 6 month total , fun , some of it not tuners fault (I broke tranny output shaft) month was down , the rest is tuners , parts , etc .
I'm just going to put benz to stock, sell it , get R8 TT it and f@ck this .
after I'm giving it one more chance , since I still like the car
