My Ride: 2010 E63 AMG -- Palladium Silver/Black. Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!

Dinan seems like a nice enough chap, but when car mags have compared his tunes to stock, the difference in acceleration times seems negligible. Makes you wonder if any of these tunes really matter much for the money. One would think that a 495 hp Dinan 550i tune would be much more than 0.2 seconds faster than a stock Audi S4. IMO, $3k is a total rip for the Dinan tune. Different cars but also negligible results.

Are you guys really timing the 0-60 every time you accelerate? Thats a pretty significant hp/torque increase, you will definatley feel it

A .5 second improvement in 0-60 is a significant performance gain that you will feel when accelerating.
