The quoted post from @Sheharyar_rr w the 11.46@121 was my car,trust me when I say the '20 M550 is a beast.

Food for thought,you can't really trust magazine 1/4mi #'s as they don't post track conditions,weather conditions,track altitude,DA,etc which all play a major role. Back in '07 when Mercedes replaced the monster W211 E55 AMG(S/C) w the W211 E63 AMG(N/A) the forums where blasting the underwhelming 1/4mi numbers of the E63 saying it was a failure and a step backwards from the E55. Magazines were printing 1/4mi times from 12.3-12.6 for the E63.

I had to replace my '05 E55(drunk driver hit my wife at a red light and totaled it) w a new '07 E63. First thing I did after break-in was run it at a private track rental. Boom. 11.95@118. 100% stock. Multiple 11.9X@117-118mph all day. I think I was responsible for a spike in E63 sales immediately afterwards once I posted vids/slips on the forums that evening lol.
