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!!!!

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

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! What are the new 6.3L V8's putting out? just north of 500?

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!
