No doubt about that at all.
My 68 Camaro would have smoked him. Sooner or later....so will the GN.

You couldn't take a high 12's car? Your tune is off brother. I know for a fact you can take him.

Well he said when he went home and researched, it came out to a high twelves car. If it is indeed a low 12 car, then you're nothing but an alcohol kit, dutt neck, cold air kit, dump pipe and drag radial away from whoopin' him.

I'm also only running 13lbs of boost.
GN's made 14lbs stock and that put them in the low 14's to very high 13's.

It was 15 pounds. And that won't help if you're running an anemic 7/8th inch rear sway and all weather radials
Like I said, get those parts, tune it, and you'll make that man mad as hell he spent all that money, on some stupid mercedes, just because it has a supercharger, and a heated steering wheel. Engineers keep trying to redesign stuff to be as fast and luxurious as possible, and they still can't overcome the buick grand national. I find it hilarious actually. Get back in those think tanks guys. You're still not earning your money lol.

He's going to need a good launch too. Sway bar, air bags, and an rjc boost controller wouldnt hurt either. Just to cinch it in.

Yup.
I have an RJC boost controller, but I pulled it off because I couldn't set it lower than 16 lbs without having the actuator really really loose, and the boost spike and creep were not 91 octane compatible. So after I install my Alkycontrol (just arrived yesterday). I'll put the RJC BC back on and port the exhaust housing and elbow as needed. Next priority is the exhaust side upgrades....then the intake side after that. Assuming my transmission stays together, I'll then start with suspension upgrades to put the power to the ground. Tim

I'd do the suspension first. The stock suspension couldn't even handle the stock torque, let alone torque from a boost controller and alky kit.

the e-63 is not supercharged,its a naturally aspirated v-8..the previous e-55 was a supercharged v-8. the 65 series benzs are twin turbocharged v-12's. i work on these cars daily..you can put a 55 or 63 in dyno mode and put a sticky tire on it and run into the 11's. we have a customer that bracket races his e-55,stock tires etc and it runs 12.30-12.40's consintently.the 65's (sl65 etc) can get into the 10's with a tire and when in dyno mode.
