Ah, the mid 70's creed "no replacement for displacement!" You gotta love it.

AMG did state that they will use Turbo's when needed in the future. So the Twin Turbo V-12 is supposed to stay around.....

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?

Kleeman has tuned some sick C55's. The currant C55 is already a NA V8 so the C63 will be a big power upgrade.

But anyway Kleeman has tuned a few that will run to 60 in the 3 second range and the 1/4 mile and top speed numbers are amazing.

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!!!
