Slater's 50/50 works for me. EAS said 3 hours for install. You guys wanna meet there at 12:30?

[mainly]

but tune only vs tune only the AWD E/CLS63 will likely destroy the m5 from any speed.

Not sure if I can swing Anaheim Hills Friday at noon. I can do Irvine or South County. If not, I'll catch you next time.

Im good with Irvine--- there is a 50 50 there too LOL (lake forest) sorry Ive been craving a burger all day

[Grayblack]

Ha Lake Forest is good with me.

[runningthingz]

50 50 in lake forest it is then. 12:30.

Guys, AWDs are not created equal. The 2014 E63 even with AWD, is not going to be a GTR, which is known to have the best traction off the line among production cars. The LCI M5 with comp package will get a little better traction from the improved differential plus a small power bump. That should at least make the M5 a match for the 2014 E63 i am guessing.

Agreed. Both catted and catless sound phenomenal.

Vic, your C4S is very clean.

I would wait until the numbers start trickling in.
Also, did you forget the Aventador, Turbo S, and the Bug?

Those were breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the GTR when it comes to launching off the line

Seriously, I am not too concerned with all these traffic light grandprix cos i never partake in them nor do i take my cars to the drag strip. I will be very upset if the E63 has much better steering feel and response than my M5, or if it has a superior engine.

The AWD E63S will beat the M5 from a dig with a simple mash of the pedal. From a roll the results will be a "driver's race" in my opinion.

people are saying that the m5 will beat the new e63 from a roll, because of the added weigth of the 4 matic, but even wwith the extra 100-150 lbs wont the e63 STILL be lighter than the M5?

if so, why would the m5 pull at higher speeds? especially considering the S-AMG will have 585 hp.
