Raced a NEW E63 AMG today...
So, I was driving to work this morning and a brand new blacked out E63 AMG rolls up next to me at a red light. The road in front of us was wide open. I put my car in M1, the light turned green and we both floored it. Got up to about 100MPH until we let off. I was ahead by about 3/4 of a car length. He got a small jump on me off the line but the M5 pulled hard after 20MPH. I was still pulling on him when we let off.
I have to admit, the E63 sounded amazing. I couldn't even hear my exhaust with him next to me. His car was brand new, bone stock as far as I can tell. Still had dealer plates. #winning |

The 2014's with AWD and hp bump are not out yet; you raced a new 2013....
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.

I had a feeling it wasn't the AWD version. I wonder how a modded M5 with downpipes, exhaust and intake will fair against a stock AWD 2014.

The stock exhaust note on the M157 is amazing--- the cans are just as huge as the F10 M5 stockwise but it just makes more sound thru its piping. I had 2 M157's (CLS and E Wagon) and if you loved it stock, just removing the resonator created an even better and louder sound. Stock vs stock the M5 would lose via a dig but from a roll we have the better tranny and the hp curves are not that wildly off (the tq ones are). But the AWD system of the E will slow it down and the less efficient MCT, planetary auto, will as well. So I like the S63tu engine over the M157 from a roll. Its still driver's race but a pre planned run with proper shifting will and should push the F10 ahead. So if the M5 is modded it will pull better IMHO but there are tunes out (real tunes) for the M157 and I had both of mine done. The car is a crazy beast with just a tune; some guys trapping over 126mph and pushing enourmous whp/tq. But thats another story. Please take the following with a grain of salt but its a dyno of my M5 with just the axle back E-Race vs a buddies E63 with the PP kit. My Black Series is attached for perspective as well. Mind you, these dynos were done on different days but with similar conditions and the same dyno. The E63 is not a 2014 so it has less hp/tq and is stock. You can see that our HP curve is very strong up and infact our tq curve is more flat as the rpms/speed increases. Our cars are autobahn burners... The AWD E63 will make us sad at the lights but thats where it should end: Again this is the E63 with 550 crank rate hp and 590 lb ft of tq (approx) Here is the same overlay with RPM's
