VIDEO: MB E63 AMG P30 AMG 0-60 mph in 3.90 secs

Original Post: http://mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=221257

Okay, last night the temperature dropped to about 50 degrees, so I decided to take the car for some 0-60 mph runs. I ran 5 times and just couldn't get any faster than 4.08 seconds........ and although those numbers were good, I felt the car could do better.

So Amir (M5_Forever) stepped in and said "let me take a shot at it". He ran 5 times: on the first run he lost traction all the way from 0 to 50 mph and ended up with 4.3 seconds. Then he ran 4 more times, and amazingly all 4 runs (in a row) were 3.9x seconds; the fastest run being 3.90 seconds... I'm surprised how consistent the car is in the cold weather. It's almost like adding NOS to our cars

This was on 91 octane gas, and I feel that 93 or 94 octane would produce even better results

Here is the video, enjoy........



We will be going out to Sacramento Raceway 1/4 mile track, hope to see more E90/E92s twin turbos this time.

E63 with performance package is pretty fast. E55 is still faster then an E63 without it though

I know the e55 is fast but i would rather have the 63. looks better, handles better, and that motor is more rev friendly. oh and the sound....soo nice.
