This one is close enough to being in the 10’s depending on the climate conditions and driver.
According to the forum I found this next one on, they say it is a “10second tune only car”

Those were the first two I could find in the 3 minutes I had with my shitty internet connection. There could be more legitimate actual 10 second biturbo benz’s out there.
I don’t feel bullshitted.
I know they aren’t exactly quite 10 second proven cars, but again it was a very quick search, so I am willing to go out on a limb and say the beast exists.
Obviously, we’re getting off track, but Saki got pretty insulting about it, considering it wasn’t true and still not findable even by yourself with a simple google search. Not sure why stick with something that isn’t true, to the death.
Besides, the S8 tune-only is faster than the Alpha turbo upgrade on the E63 even. The point was it’s impressive, not sure why there’s an argument at all.
Regardless of the platform, i know I’d enjoy a 10 second car.
Looks like you’re somewhere between $14-20,000 away… That’s kind of nuts in itself, how far we’ve come. I remember being happy to get my car in the 14s, 20 years ago, and going to bikes to get a decent speed fix.
I was lucky to get pegs on my new huffy 20 years ago, haha. I was just thinking that is a crazy fast car for some asshat to buy that has the occasional road rage or fucks around on his/her cell phone while driving all the time. It is no joke to have 600hp at the end of your foot…AWD or not and these things probably aren’t exactly nimble in the turns.
^Really makes you wonder where cars will be in the next 15 years.
The E36 M3 was considered pretty damn fast in it’s day, and now a new Corolla could match it to 60mph.
600hp is a lot, and it’s not going to be long before more and more cars commonly hit that number. The limits of tires can only do so much though to keep people on the road with that much power. My porsche regularly keeps me in check when boost hits in 1st-3rd gears, and that’s only at 430whp and big ole rear tires.
Lmfao
You of all people should know that if you want to make a claim, like you did about plenty of Benzes tune only running mid 10s, then it is on you to provide information to support such claims.
Every degree of ignition is huge. 
Ssshhhhhhh that’s the REVO secret.
I laugh when people consider octane enhancement like race gas/methanol/e85 cheating. Cheating at what?
Race gas and meth are completely pointless to me. I consider myself an average punter. When I go down the pub with my friends and talk about cars, I talk about the new and exciting things happening in the Audi world. To a man, they agree the most relevant data is from cars running gas you can get at Shell/Petro Can etc. It’s not like Ferrari or Porsche say hey look at how fast our car is (on race gas).
E85 is different because in some states it is gas for the average man. My friends impala can run it!
Well in the NFL the average punter makes $868,005, about on par with Canadian doctors and could probably afford the race gas no problem
I dunno. I don’t street race asides from the odd impromptu fun, so pump gas ‘performance’ is pretty meaningless to me. I’ve been to the real street races many many times too, north of the city back in the day…they were practically sponsored by VP haha. Trailered cars and all.
I don’t generally go to the track to measure times, just to have fun and race people. Maybe that’s not like everyone on the board here, but I have my fun when I go and sometimes the conquests are worth it (lol see earlier this thread). So if race gas and 40-90 hp more will help me, I’m on it every time. Anyway I know in not alone on this board.
I’ll never get the whole “trailered cars” to a street race thing. How much sense does that make? and what is the point of having a gutted caged car go fast on a street and not a track. I’m all for some nice street pulls, but all out race cars running sounds like a great way to die or kill spectators.

Race gas for the win… I just prefer it all the time in my fun cars… No denying the improvement of it on our cars and all FI cars for that matter…

Yes I didn’t want to be obvious… Ha
The tune having a race gas specific profile would probably make a big difference in which tuner I go with. Especially if it’s 10% gains.
Yeah I’m in total agreement with you. Although it seems you too have seen it done… I find it hilarious, "oh yeah I just happen to be driving by, two in the morning, trailering my racecar… "
I don’t get the whole beef with meth. Well when people run it 50/50 (like 95% of people do, running 100% meth is frankly a bit dangerous due to its low ignition point). I’m planning it on my car and it’ll be on the car in a 50/50 or 75/25 mixture full time and is boost activated. So once I hit 0.3 bar it’ll gradually be pumped in. But point is it’ll be on the car running all the time, and in that configuration, will only have to be filled up once a month or even less (about every 5 tanks of gas, depending on driving style of coarse).
In fact, JHM’s supercharger kits initially planed on using meth as a stg 1+ or stg2 kit depending on motor limits. My intake tube that connected the blower to throttle body already had a meth bung hole built in. Obviously they went a different direction though which is fine.
I do think it should be listed as a mod though, as it’s definitely not comparable to just a “pump time” performance, but I think it’s reasonable to run on street trim for every day use and can be beneficial and safer to the motor if tuned and installed correctly. (Mine has a flow meter and pressure tester so if at any point it fails the turbos are cut to wastegate pressure and not running any higher boost so minimal risk).
I almost think E85 is more of a asterisk than meth. Most of the cars running E85 are E85 dependent. As in can’t just mix in one or the other. Therefor you can’t drive any further than you can find a station with it or else your stranded. Now some of the newer cars are tuned with the flex fuel sensor that lets you run full gas, full E85, or anywhere in between which is pretty cool and adjust accordingly.
Pretty wow to me with just a tune. Have you gone quicker? I haven’t
It’s same as stock ran lol
