I love my car and want to keep it for many more years, as I like it more than the new CL design.
How can I increase its hp, I have always felt it is a little slow to react in the initial acceleration, even though it has 305 hp, maybe due to its weight. I have heard and read about chips and tuning, but don´t know where to start.

I don´t want to mess with the engine or change the cylinders or nothing like the stuff Chip Foose does to cars.....+

hahaha just kiddin´, if I had the money OF COURSE I would let him do whatever he wanted.....
thxs for the input and advice

take the fat guy out of the passenger seat. more weight=less power.

There are these new things called pulstar plugs. They are 20,000 times more powerful than a regular spark plug. a regular spark plug gives off 50 watts but the pulse plug puts out 1,000,000 watts. Here is the site so you can check it out more:

You can turbocharge your engine, get new exhaust for it and put in a cold air intake and do a bunch more stuff like that to make it faster.

Hon, your car is plenty fast and if you get it faster you will never be satisfied. Speed is like money, never enough. Ask a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Corvette or Porsche owner, is never fast enough. Go drive a Lexus or a Toyota you will want back your Mercedes Benz. You need an average car to compare and you will say, yes is pretty fast. Just that you are used to it.

European cars are not build with the US mind. On the US people wants to Drag Race, in Europe wants speed and agility. Have you ever drove in the Autobahn? I did and is not what people thinks. Is pretty much as the best roads here in the US. No race track like, no High Banks like Talladega. The cars runs at a recommended speed of 80MPH and you can go faster if you have enough room to go. Beyond that, is on you if you wreck your car.

These cars are designed to run Long distance for a long periods of times with agility and comfort. That is why they drive in the way they drive. Trust me, your car is plenty fast, save your cash, get a nice vacation and have fun. :-)

Well change your air filter for one. You can also change the mufflers and get a chip made. There is a company by the name of Jet Performance you ship you computer out takes three days. Theres always nitrous oxide good cheap horse power.
