I was pretty disapointed to find out the C55 is a na V8.:( 350hp isn't bad but with a blower they are capible of so much more.

Kleeman made some extremly sick and fast C's.

Yeah I drive the 190E all the time and the wife has the C230K Coupe... So when I get to drive that and row the gears it is like a whole new car... So much more power than the 2.3 8V in the 190!!!!:D

I think next year if and when the C63 comes out that will be a non issue....

Not to quiffle, but it's 362 hp. ;)

One of the customers at the marina has one. They are ok but I think considering the power and price no bargin. I'd cough up the extra for the E55.

A C63 should be sweet!:D What are the new 6.3L V8's putting out? just north of 500?

Jim Anderson 12-19-2005 05:27 PM

C63! What would the power to weight ratio be:) :) :)

The 2005 has the same engine as the 2003 and 2004. It is the M271. 1.8L SC'ed engine with 11psi of boost. 189Hp and 197ft/lbs. Nice little engine actually. Especially when matted to the 6 speed stick!
