C32 AMG vs. Modded 350Z
I get on I-280 last night going south and crusing around 60ish when I see (& hear) a 350Z in my rear view merging on the highway very quickly. He then pulls next to me (I didn't think anything of it) and he revs a couple times (it seems like a MT cuz he's in gear), so I assume he wants to run. I moved the lever 2 times left (D3) and gave it a little gas and then he floors it around 65 and then i got on it. We went up to a little over 100 and I got 5 cars easily on him.
After the run, we took the same exit and chatted a bit. It was a MT track edition and he had springs, 18" gunmetal rims, intake, crawford plenum, exhaust, & cf spoiler. He couldnt believe the C32 was in stock form.

I dont think its necessary...so many people think its "just a slow C class" and you can't hear the S/C. Little do they know that they'll be staring at my tail lights.

Revving at 9K...
Very, very nice whip. How much for something like this? $40-50K?
I know to show respect to any MB with the AMG badge on it.. no matter what class.
Again, very, very nice car.

CLS2001_97124 - Thanks for compliments bro. For a new one, starts around $52k up to $59k. I got mine used (fully loaded with all options)with 22k miles for $40k OTD.
Dave - Someone just ran 12.9@107 stock (349hp/333tq) at the track. Mike started a thread about it in car talk. The C32 weighs in at 3540 lbs while the E500 is 3812 lbs, so almost 300lbs lighter and 50 hp/33tq more.
The E55 is a whole different beast weighing in at 4087 lbs, but 469hp/516tq! ![EEK!](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)

It's all about the 3.2L V6.

Nah, it wasnt starmarked...if it was, I probably couldn't get that price OTD. I bought it from a private seller...lucky bastard got an 04 E55 to replace the C32 he sold me.

riceburner - Lots of looking around & negociating...some guy on the mbworld forum got an 02 C32 8.5k miles for $37k. Look on mbworld & c32life classifieds or maybe autotrader.
red - H&R (adjustable) sways make a big difference in handling. That would probably be the first mod. I wouldnt lower the car b/c I don't want to deal with the ride & inconvenience of that anymore. After that, I would be saving up $$$ for a stage II kit (Overdrive pulley set, upgraded intercooler & aftercooler, ECU upgrade, plugs&wires, headers, SL55 intake). That should be good for 435hp at the crank and low 12s in the 1/4mile.

If the car is starmarked, it comes with warranty for sure. Im not sure for all cases, but for me (which was a private sale & regarding the extended warranty) it was transferrable. I just noticed the owners manual has a postcard included to transfer ownership & warranty also.
