1995 C280
I have 2 options here..

I can either sell my beloved C280 lux. OR replace the motor with a new motor (NOT another mercedes motor...)

So that leaves me with these few questions...

C280, and say a C43 AMG they have a v8 in them correct? or thats one huge 6cylinder..

Now. the question, are they the same body/chassis, though I'm going to assume that the AMG is gonna have a slightly different set up, but I mean, other then minor differences their the same?

The reason I ask, if I don't sell my C280, Its gonna be raced in some way shape or form.. Lately I've leaned towards Rally-X or Auto-X, Drifting (sounds childish but is actually really fun) and or road racing.. possibly multiple...

Any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated.. also anyone interested? 1400$ takes it.. mint, minus motor... she burns oil, leaks a little coolant, and alternator needs to be replaced... other then that, immaculate car. :tup:

i'd get the AMG. rally car is fun and all but at the end of the day it's better to have a nice balance of power and luxery IMO
