How i make my S320 go faster?

Hi im new to this forum... recently i sold my VOLVO S80 T6
that was a scary fast car(280 hp)
i bought 01' Mercedes S320 now... im happy with this car... this is the best luxury car i ever had... but something bugging me... that 3200 cc is not even close to be as fast as the 2800 Twin Turbo was...
how i make my s320 go faster like the volvo and even more... theres any chip for this car?

10x.

What country are you in? In the US the S430 is the smallest available.
DON'T put a K&N filter in it!!!!!!

You should have bought an S500 instead to even approach the S80 T6, IMHO.

come on

just to remind u the S500 price is about 2 times the volvo price...
by sellin the volvo i had money to about 3 quarters of the s320
anyway this car is amazing nothing is difrent then my friends s500 but the rims and engine... interior exterior same...
just the s320 is slow machine for a luxury car...
i heard a simple performance chip will make it go faster as the volvo ....
is that true?
by the way i live in israel... which a new s500 costs 200,000$... so dont expect me pay 200K for a car... the taxes here are about 120-130 % or even more...

Yikes!

What was wrong with the S80 T6, besides the transmission and the computerized everything?

Why no K&N? My truck will choke without one so I know the flow is there. I buy them for all my cars, but I don't notice a difference in those. I guess you have to need the air in order to miss it.

Just a thought, but see my "35% HP boost" post. There isn't much else out there ot boost power.

My neighbor has an S320, not sure on the year. I read they weigh 4500lbs! My ML320 weighs 4200lbs and it's a slug, so I feel your pain...
Oh, and sorry about your taxes. And I've been complaining about the 7.75% tax I pay.
