I`m guessing the E63s` AMG modified 7G really helps spread the power evenly through the gear-ratios better than the E55 and might be the reason it`s quicker past 150mph.

Yes GTA , as a matter of fact I did race interlagos's M5 earlier when I even barely had 500 miles on my E63 , off 0 mph , the E63 is a blast so it takes an early deep lead over the M5 , I guess the cut down on torque and the raise from 2650 rpm helped for better skid , and then that 7G helps gain a couple more up to 100 mph , so you can say the E63 is ahead by 21/2 to 3 cars , the m5 gets just a little closer after 130 and it ends there , off rolling start , the M5 took the lead at the horn from 30 mph , but my 63 still caught up before 90 mph and so on ..... Hopefully we'll get it on video sometime
