I bought my C36 from Nashville, TN last summer. It's just another black on black MB

How on earth did you find it, if I may ask? I've cruised the local craigslist for years for a C36 just out of curiosity, hoping one would pop up with the infamous "needs head gasket and wiring harness replaced" so I could pick it up dirt cheap. Have never, ever seen one around here, let alone for sale. Have lived here since 2002!

Actually I bought it in a town between Nashville and bowling green. Went to the corvette museum and saw the car.

I'm outside of Chicago, where do you get all of your work done?

I have seen close to a dozen real C43's. They were all silver or black with badges and the body kit and Monoblocks, although one had aftermarket wheels. The stock ones could be other daily drivers I have just seen multiple times. I have seen one C36 AMG for sure, they other two I did not see badges but the wheels were right. Could have been an older C280 Sport with 15" Monos.

Anyone here have any bigger, badder AMG's? C63? CL65? I really want a CL65

I do it myself in a friends garage.

Finally, here are pictures of my car. Enjoy!

Charlie could you take a picture of the gas pedal cable on the hood please? That will be top portion by windshield on driver side. Thanks

Why? Gas pedal cable... Aren't these cars drive-by-wire?

speed43

Why? Because I asked. But that's ok.

charliekuney

ok

They are both. A mechanical metal cable from the pedal goes to the throttle position sensor under the hood (driver's side in US cars) and mechanically turns a potentiometer on the sensor which then communicates with the electronic throttle body. It's classic mechanical from pedal to TPS, and drive by wire from the TPS onward.
