I'm trying to find out what LMR did to it. I know it says all-motor, but there's no way that's near stock. If so, that's incredible.

even the OEM true dual exhaust sounds soooo good....having heard one in person and having driven the C7, I know its just fabulous !!!

and dont get me started on the rev match feature....since it was a new car and Steven's new car, I didnt wanna heel toe and mess something up....I tried the rev match feature and was blown away....the downshifts are just amazing....and the exhaust crackle and pop after a downshift is mind blowing !!!

heel toe I'm surprised you didn't wreck it.

Anyways, It appears to be top end, PRC heads and cammed with high-stall TC, everything else stock. Not bad..

dyno results show the new E63 makes closer to 640hp, not 577 as advertised. 640hp in Mercedes mid-level sports sedan, from the factory. What the actual f8ck.
