maybe we are talking 2 different situations. From a standstill yes it's mid 6 if that's what you mean, but I meant from a roll starting it in 3rd gear from 100-200
here my friend has it recorded on video. I don't think w3 kit would do better for most people at least
counting the seconds on videos dont count for measuring 100-200 times, since even just count being off by 9/10ths of a sec would be a lot on a 7.0 sec time..then becomes 6.1
vbox or it doesnt count... highly doubt only tune w/dps stock turbo e63 is running 6.0 100-200 as that is 7.2 60-130 and previous record was like 7.7 so you just smashed the record
and at 6.0 sec you are only off the 840 awhp pureturbos e63 run of 5.3 100-200 (6.3 60-130) by about 7/10ths so again, VBOX or it doesnt count
Nothing better out there? Wrong, I was far from saying there is nothing better out there. In fact I told him in an earlier post that an RS7 sounds like it would of been a better choice for him to achieve his goals in wanting a super fast 4 door and the response was that it's too boring for him.
and roll racing? I along with many others already know that in this segment the m5 is best suited for that.
So just because I don't agree with them that the hellcat isn't a better car that turns me into an "amg fanboy" who never admits another car can be better than it in certain things? Wrong.
I could careless if one one day a hellcat passes me, I'm not trying to get the fastest 4 door car possible and never said the E is the best fit for that, but my opinion still stands that's it's better built and has better quality and will outlast a hellcat.
You can talk all day long about modding each car and what will happen in 5 years from now when people do whatever, that's irrelevant at this point and the sky is the limit when going deeply into modding any car.
As for GM, my good friend recently had a 2014 Grand Cherokee, and has no upgraded his lease to the jeep SRT8 so I have an idea of how the quality compares. Forget my opinion, when I took him for a ride in the E63 it was him that came out saying the overall feel of the AMG was much better to him sitting in the passenger seat after a 20 minute cruise.
Only squeeking I have on mine is the pano roof, and I agree that is unacceptable on a 100k Benz, other than that however it's fine.
The comfort you you speak of is just as you say, can't have your cake and eat it. It likely handles much better than the GM you drove which is always the trade off for comfort regardless of the car brand and considering how well the AMG handles at its weight and size it sure is comfortable.

ill ask him for the vbox as he posted on the bottom of the video that it was a 6.0, I'm sure he had something he used to measure it. If he just counted the seconds off a video and said that then we can forget those results as being accurate I agree.
And I agree with you that hellcat is less boring and cheaper AND faster, not saying its not.
You are arguing benz has no better build quality, just $30k more for extra leather on the dash, and i will disagree with that wholeheartedly. Compared to M/RS/AMG it just isnt.
Its a tradeoff and your bad experience you had with benz doesnt change it.

can you quote where I said hellcat has better interior than benz ? I said the seats leather feels better in hellcat in dash more informative , that's it .

Not disagreeing here, the small screen in the benz is ridiculous.
Leather i dont see whats not high quality about it, but if HC is better for you then im happy for you.

better for me would be 1k hp E63 , but to late .
Leather not about quality , about the fill , if you have a chance to touch HC leather seat you'll get right away what I'm talking about .
Screen - it's not just about screen .
In HC I can monitor
AFR wide band
oil pressure
all the tempts everywhere (oils all of them , coolant etc )
there is 14 different gauges , I'm not recall all of them .
How nice to see your AFR on tuned car .
What I'm really missing is the hold brake and line assist

Clearly the hellcat is more geared towards performance options (makes sense) vs benz more towards luxury options.
I guess its a trade off which clearly works out better for your desired goals.

I have left over Powerhous turbos (less than 1 mile) and full AMS intake system (also less than 1 mile). If you ever decide to revive your Mercedes. These are spare parts that I'm left with after going with the gad components.

so again, VBOX or it doesnt count
