[QUOTE="Franz, post: 12419048, member: 138606"] Maybe YOU should do your research. Dollar for dollar, the old supercharged E55s are faster with mods than the newer 6.2L E63s EVER were. Spend $5K in mods on an E55 and you're making 566 lb/ft of torque: [URL="http://www.renntechmercedes.com/www/node/302"]R1 Performance Package for E 55K (W211- 514 HP / 566 TQ) | RENNTECH MERCEDES[/URL] Spend $5,200 in mods on an E63 (6.2L) and you're still making "only" 495 lb ft: [URL="http://www.renntechmercedes.com/www/node/298"]R1 Performance Package for E 63 (W211- 549 HP / 495 TQ) | RENNTECH MERCEDES[/URL] Last time I checked, spending $200 MORE for 71 ft lbs LESS torque was both more expensive, AND slower.
