2021 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG vs Hellcat Ride Along Standing Half Mile Drag Race Indy Airstrip Attack

My Friend Gus (KZbin Channel - gkpiepenburg) Goes for a Standing Half Mile Ride Along on the Marion, Indiana Municipal Airport Runway in my Hellcat. 2021 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG vs 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat 1/2 Mile Drag Race on an Airport Runway at Indy Airstrip Attack 2022. SHIFT-S3CTOR Standing Half Mile Racing Event.

A very HUMBLE thank-you Jason for allowing me to ride along with you that day… So frustrating to prepare for an event getting to meet old friends and then the Clutch let go. It was a very *interesting* drive home over two hours without it. The new Clutch is in and the beefed up Transmission right behind it. Shortly it goes back to Barth for a FULL E85 tune and I’ll be ready for next year. Man, that Auto shifts hard and fast. Lot faster than my worn out right shoulder! 😊

[@b5beast611]

More than happy to take you along! Looking forward to going along for a ride in the M6! 😎

[@gkpiepenburg]

162 mph last year on 105 Octane Unleaded! Pulley, Injectors and a Tune- Wait till Barth gets his D*ck beaters on it again. I’ve prewritten him a check big enough to send me back to College…🤨 Next year we’re not going plaid we’re going “Off like a Prom Dress” brother… Thanks again for the Channel plug. Just haven’t had much to post lately waiting on parts and missing events. Next year-👍😊

Those AMG's are NO joke. I mean look at the way it took off? Damn... 🤦‍♂️😂

[@turdrocket]

Beaten 2 hellcats in my tuned e63. Both I have gapped. People don't believe. Thanks for the video

[@lovemusic158]

You have the w212 or w213? How’s ur reliability with the car. Engine, axles, tires? I have the 2019 w213 w catless downpipes I been wanting to go to a 800hp tune but I’m afraid the engine won’t handle it or even other parts that’s y I’m asking.

“What the hell is that”? (AMG) It’s Batman!

[@ziggymartinez2273]

the sheer disappointment in his face 😂

[@blinx197]

I actually like hellcats but it's funny watching the owners have high expectations when running full-fledged 63 AMGs. That thing was probably 100% stock too.

[@EfurdGarage]

yea that benz awd takes off quick.

[@b5beast611]

A lot quicker than I was anticipating.

[@Creator-uj8je]

How ridiculous Нellcat is compared to Mercedes AMG! 😆😆

[@monunyabidness5949]

I laughed when he said "lets hunt him down." I knew there was no catching him in half a mile and that at some point, even if the runway was infinite, aero would start to play a part. Brute force can only take you so far against the laws of physics. *Physics will always win.* Mercedes Benz has been making slippery E class cars since the mid 80s. The original AMG Hammers based on the lowly W124 Mercedes 200E were capable of 191mph; big engine (~400hp 5.6 liter V8,) beefed up transmission, and a different rear axle. That was with a 4 speed transmission.

[@b5beast611]

I was reeling him in, just ran out of room. He killed me in the first 1/4 mile for sure.

[@soulmind9983]

@@b5beast611 only for a short while when you get past 170 you won’t reel him in anymore trust me

[@moriorinvictus6522]

Run a 22-23 m3 or m5

[@JMGavin3rd]

Real E Hammers are worth some bucks these days too

[@mattkosiarski658]

I always thought a e63 stock would beat a stock hellcat and ya I was right...those cars have always been fast af though...love me a widebody hellcat too though..

[@Einstein79]

Someday, am gonna buy me an E6S AMG and murder am the competition. The heck!

[@jcox2010jc]

Do it. Best car I've ever owned. Absolute rocketship with a tune.

[@jcox2010jc]

@lovemusic158 I have a w212 with the renntech 93+ octane tune. The M157 as long as it's after 14 should have the updated cam chain tensioner. I ended up having to do that repair. If you read further on mbworld this concern of tune and wear and tear is discussed ad nosium. There most definitely is a reduction of life in the motor when tuned specifically pistons, cylinders, and rods. I would start there just so you understand what you're in for if you push beyond stage 1 or 2.

[@lennoderuyter7532]

as you can see, its not always about horsepower, al lot of horses is easy, but putting them on the street is something else, that is why they always lose from european cars.

[@b5beast611]

AWD is definitely a benefit getting off the starting line.

[@patsongoche6701]

That amg is super fast

Clutch issue :)) just admit German cars are better that any American car

Run him down....😢

[@benjaminarthur6110]

Nothing new here. Any Hellcat vehicle besides the Trackhawks are overrated. My E63 AMG S that only has intake and tune beats Hellcats all day. Roll racing OR from a stop.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@legendkiller1290]

You muscle car owners are delusional racing german cars off the line what do you honestly expect the outcome to be. A roll start is a whole other story…

[@johnsmith-mk3zq]

Pointless race unless the e63 turns off the awd which it can do Rear wheel drive race would be more intresting

[@turdrocket]

My friends 2wd e63 runs very close to my awd e63. Both tuned. The e63 would still have walked this hellcat

[@cb7ist]

True true

[@daddylongleg6128]

Isn’t that what racing is all about ? Seeing who’s faster ? Maybe if he turns off awd hellcat should use black key instead of red
