Vehicle Virgins reports 2.7 s 0-60 time
In his new E63S, Parker went out with his trusty VBOX and did some launch control starts.
According to his VBOX he did two 2.7 s runs and one 2.8 s run.

I really want to like Parker but his finger pointing and winking makes me dizzy. His enthusiasm is great though. Oh his video titles are kind of dramatic sometimes. I know he's on here so I'll keep it at that.

I too like his enthusiasm. Felt really bad for him when he went to Germany to pick up this E63S and they said it wasn’t ready. However, much as I like his stories, but view his speed time accuration with some reservations.

At about the 12:25 mark you can clearly see between the driver headrest and the C pillar that he’s going down a significant downhill slope. I’m surprised he would compromise his credibility like that.

Having been there a month earlier to pick up my car, I can’t imagine how shocked and bad he must have felt when he got the news. I think he handled it surprisingly well. I was supposed to take delivery at the center of excellence and was ticked off when we got bumped from that (though Mercedes did handle it well). If my whole car was missing and there had been no heads up after traveling over with my whole family, I really would not have been a happy camper.

I can't watch him... beyond annoying and fake. Sadly, he is far from the worst of these internet personalities reviewing cars. It seems to appeal only to d-bags to make vids. That Shmee kid in the UK is my most unlikable. Took his GTR in the snow in Cortina with that bonehead that owns an abuses his 6x6 G63. Makes me sick.

His older videos were more substantial, the latest ones are just geared for Youtube cash to pay for all his toys. Not a bad gig but not for me, i had to unfollow him.

Not quite sure why I'm compelled to post in this thread, but I actually met the dude a month ago at wannagofast. He approached me cuz w213 e63s. Actually a nice dude and pretty chill. Enjoyed our quick chat about the car and his sick lambo. But I hear you all as well...his vids are his $ and his brand, so he's gotta play to that.
Cheers to fast cars and other cool stuffs.

Forget about the guy. 2.7/2.8 sec. to 60 stock is the best I have seen anywhere. Trust those Vbox numbers or is it staged? Just sounds too good to be true.

I say good for him. The guy has found a little niche and is making it work for him.
He was at my shop just to install some wheels on his car but he puts quite a bit of work into making a video. I also realize he has to put a lot more time editing that video once he gets home, I was surprised to see how much goes into making one of those videos. I would say it is easily a 10 hour day to do a video and he does one everyday so he is pretty committed to doing them.
I hope that he keeps having more success.
I subscribed to Schmee150's channel for a little bit but that guy was driving me a little crazy. He seemed like a great guy but I just couldn't take it anymore, Parker doesn't really annoy me.

I have nothing against the guy. However, as an owner of the E63, I would love for it to be as fast as he's depicting. Unfortunately, the way he went about his claim (going downhill) diminishes his credibility as a reputable automotive vlogger for me. He probably couldn't care less about that sort of thing. If he's just after views and subscribers, more power to him. I will seek alternate sources for credible automotive content.
