I built a 2005 C55K8 for a Kleemann Sales Rep. Demo car. It has everything.
Kompressor, Headers, SLR grind Cams, complete exhaust system, Computer
upgrades, and Limited slip axle.
It had everything the Car and Driver test car had and more.
Until I drove a SLR, it was the fastest car I had ever piloted.
Traction is a challenge even with the Locker rear end and 295mm tires.
Kleemann estimated it to be a 615-625hp C class up from 376hp. stock.
The new C63 will start at 510 and only go up... I can't wait.
Damn, more drool!!!

Think the dealer is expensive? Do you know how much it costs to train a dealer tech? Or buy the required MB special tools to have on hand?

You built that thing!!! What do you work for Kleeman!!! That car Car and Driver tested was amazing, it would be even mroe amazing with C240 badges on it!

So is a 1k hp C class coming down Kleemans line? I know they are pushing four digit numbers with the currant V12's.

No I just work with Kleemann as a installer. The car I built was a clone of the
Car and Driver test car. Just faster. The owner now works for Kleemann and
the car is now a demo car for prospective buyers. It is now covered in Kleemann company logos from front to back. Before it had no badging of
any kind. The 2 huge Kleemann exhaust tips were a hint though.

The Kleemann package for the 600 V-12 is from 50hp stage 1 or 127hp for
stage 2. Torque is also raised 111 ftlbs on stage 1 and 180 ftlbs on stage 2.
The AMG 65 V-12's go higher to 731hp and 960ftlbs.

They are close to being done with Kompressor kits for the new M272 V-6's
and M273 V-8's. Power should be huge!
