And then you read page 2. . .

I don't want to burst anyones bubble but that is not a C65. It is however a 2005 AMG C55 with "performance package". This is only availble for German delivery (unfortunately).

Here is a link to a thread at our friends at MBWorld and one poster in particular "walter.fr"

The C Performance Pkg is quite extensive from what I have been able to find out over the last 3 months.

Consists of an number of enhancements both mechanical and trim.

19" staggered wheels
Larger diameter exhaust
Larger rotors and upgraded 6 piston calipers
Upgraded ECU management
Neutral weight distibution (50/50)

CF interior trim
CF rear wing
F1 steering wheel
Performance seats
Front air dam redo

A C65 would be nice but I think we are all dreaming
A C60.....maybe

Time will tell. For now, the C55 is where its at.

 

I knew it was too good to be true.

 

did you read the thread?

it's a C55 w/ a performance package


edit -

 

One of the reviewers of S65 AMG said that he did 0->100->0 within the length of one city block

 

How the hell did I miss that?

Guess we'll have to wait for the C63 to come out in 18 months to drop our jaws.

 

An SL55 does 0-100 in just under 10 seconds. And takes about 200ft to stop from 100. Unless that block is 1/4 mile+ in length, I don't see that happening.

 

ooooooooooooooo......

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

 

Whats the problem, a highschool buddy of mine has a C32 that is modded to hell and back. He dynoed 653 horses.

 

How did he get #'s that high? When I had mine I researched high and low to see how much hp was 'attainable' and never saw anything that high with the 3.2L.

Unless he dropped in 5.5L and sent it over to Kleeman...

 

A C32 with >600 WHP? I've heard the AMG supercharger can tweaked to crank out 450HP ... but 600? That's craziness. There has to be a sh*tload of upgrades to make it turn out >600HP ...

 

Just reading that post, I can feel the Gs!!!!!

 

maybe it was 653 Canadian horses?

seriously though, yeah we need more infos on the C32 dyno'ing 653...

 

DROOOOL!!!!!!! Damn that is a beauty! Let me guess a 10k price increase? Lol

 

That makes more sense. I have a feeling a C65 would be quite unbalanced, not to mention it would be a tight fit getting a V-12 in that engine bay.

BTW

 

that brushed aluminum finish is awesome, i couldn't imagine the replacement value if a fender was dented. don't really like the quarter panel vents sticking out like that

 

the hp wars will never end

 

thats unless he dropped a new motor. even the c55k8 with the kleemann blower is only pushing 500whp. the highest i've seen is 417whp and that's evosport's C32 with over $15k in it. unless he has the one of a kind turbo & sc'd C32, he's full of hot air.

 

I love M.B. AMG line but the thing is seems like the newest MB AMG cars(like the one replacing the E55) they are putting those brake ducts in poor places. it just doesn't look right. If they could adjust that the car would look AWESOME.

Now about the actual C65: I rode in a new C55 and that thing was insane. and I've rode in a C32 stock and it wasn't a dog either. if they put a motor like from a SL65 that thing would be a rocket.

BTW: did anyone watch when Ludacris went to South Africa on Cribs. he test drove a SLR McClarean F1. He was SMOKING the tires. Plus I like how the rear spoiler kicks up at certain speed that's cool.

 

about the brake ducts, dunno what the MB engineers were thinking.

IMHO, MB just wants bigger engines so they can tag their cars with bigger numbers (i.e. marketing.) Although the output is rated a bit higher than the C32 (362hp/376lb-ft vs. 349hp/332lb-ft), there's barely any difference in performance stock vs stock according to MT or C&D. 40lb-ft gain in torque is good increase, but it depends on where in the rpm range (I would guess low end but I havent seen a dyno). 1/4mile trap speed seems to be marginally higher. I test drove the car and the increase in torque makes it feel a lot faster than a stock c32 but may not be in actuality.

Now if you slap a low boost s/c on the 55, that's a whole different story.

 

Its amazing to me what Mercedes has been doing for the last several years. Not even 10 years ago, I preferred BMW over any Merc product out there. Now, as far as performance and styling goes, I think Mercedes is trouncing BMW. I just hope I make enough money to afford one of these AMG monster one day.
