Default 6.3 AMG Sedan VS 02 CETA

Came across a guy running a beatiful white AMG sedan on Hwy 6 today and pulled up beside him at the light. Usually these folks arent much into racing but this guy revs at me.....we took off from a 10 roll and dang those cars motivate. We were very close all the way to the end of 2nd where i started pulling. Got it into third about 5 seconds and had him by 1.5 cars still pulling. Shut it down at 100-105 and had him by 2.5 cars.

I am normally not a big import advocate but those things are sweet.

An E63 can trap in the mid teens and with a 7A, tough from a roll. Nice kill!

Very nice kill. There's not an AMG out there that wouldn't make me wonder about the outcome of the race if all I saw was the badge. Almost all of them are pretty sharp looking cars, too.

This car was an E63 I believe. I knew they were fast but was thinking 14'sih in the 1/4. My car is running a bit more to the wheels now than my sig shows and should do a real low 12 or possibly high 11 now. I really had to tach it up to get my pull started as he was neck and neck there for a bit. I was on a good road so did not spin but just a bit or it might have been a bit different story. Seems these guys do 13's out of the box.

According to the websites, the 2007-2008 E63s are a 6.2L rated 507/465. If it was one of these years, there's no reason that thing is not a strong low 12 second car with a decent driver, regardless of the weight. For some reason, those AMGs don't seem to be affected too poorly by their excessive weight like a GT500 or something similar. They still trap right on or even high for their rated hp.

EDIT: And the 2006 is a 6.3L rated at 514hp??? What the hell? Why would they drop engine size and hp for the newer model? Something is not right with these websites. Damn.

In 2006, wasnt it still the E55? that was a S/C 5.xx V8. In 07/08 (I think it started in 08), they released a new 6.3L N/A V8 that is just awesome. In 06, there was a 6.XX L V12 running around. I dont have the exact specs off the top pf my head, i'll do a lil research.

I know the CLS/E/S 63 sedans are all in the low 12's. I'd sell a kidney for the down payment $$ for a white CLS-63 AMG. Its one of the most beautiful 4-door cars in the world. Hell, It's just one of the most beautiful CARS in the world.

the e55 is s s/c 5.5 v8 makeing 469hp. the e63 is a n/a 6.2 makeing 507 hp.
those cars are good for real low 12's. the e63 is just barely faster then the s/c e55. my step dad had a 04 e55 and that car was fast! i have a 03 e500 benz that puts out 306 hp and 339 ft lb of tq and it is a quick car is ran a 14.2 in the 1/4 at a 100mph and i launched soft so i think i could of got it down the a 14 flat. they do make a amg65 in the big body s class.cl big 2 door and the sl65 and they are a twin turbo v12 makeing 607 hp i belive.
