With the supercharger there's more torque at lower RPM as others have said so maybe people just think the car is faster.
u might want to study that video a bit closer, listen to comments at the end

I appreciate the info guys. I put a deposit down for the CLK 63 Black Series. After my usual break in I will put it on a dyno and see what happens.

I will definitely post pics, dyno clips, etc. I am just hoping I get the allocation. I am number 2 at a dealer that has been assured 3. Of course thats speculation and I won't be convinced until they call me with my V.O.N number I am confident the car will perform as expected. I just hope the value holds better than my C55

Theres no way the value will tank with only 150 units coming this way. There will always be a buyer for this car.

I stand corrected sir. I guess it pays to watch the whole video and not just the race!
E55 - 12.6-12.7 @110
